(Get the code!)
@John - many thanks, you rock!!
A small question (from a user's point of view): currently 'shift-clicking' any 'Eye' (or 'Lock') symbol in the dialog switches the current (active) layer [1] and then toggles that new current layer, in this process loosing the current selection (with default preferences).
How difficult would it be to apply the 'Solo' feature to the layer the clicked button belongs to, without actually changing the current (active) layer (and thus also keeping the current selection)?
IMHO this would be more consistent with how a regular click works (AFAICT it's also how it works in GIMP 2.8), and e.g. would allow non-disruptive previewing of drawing details in other layers (toggle feature) without interrupting the current task (based on the current selection).
[1] Additional minor inconsistency (r11785): after newly opening the 'Layers' dialog, the first 'Shift+click' on a 'open eye' (or lock) icon doesn't switch the current (active) layer to the one the clicked icon belongs to, but instead applies 'LayerSolo' (or 'LayerLockOthers') to the current (active) layer instead.
