This is pretty closely related to #1386 so I'd be interested to hear @pedropaulosuzuki 's opinions on this, although I don't think this necessarily replaces the toolbar buttons in the panel
It feels nice to be able to quickly right click on a layer that isn't the currently selected one and then e.g. merge it down

@cameronwhite, @pedropaulosuzuki, one thing to note is that the items in this new menu aren't exactly the same ones as in the hamburger menu. Only those relevant to the layer being right-clicked are there

I believe the MR is welcome! But still, there should be an easy way for users to find those options graphically, mainly on graphic tables (using a pen) and for touchscreens (those can press and hold tho, so maybe less of a problem).

Also, something that would be pretty nice would be click and drag to move the layers vertically. That could speed up reordering of layers on heavily-multilayered files.

There is #1218 for dragging layers - I think that would be really nice to add 👍

With the discussion in #1386 about having a delete button for each layer, a related thought would be to have a button per layer which pops up this menu with the per-layer options, making it findable graphically

I think this PR seems good to merge now though, and we can always keep tweaking the layers widget more in future PRs
