Layers: Alt-click selects only on the drawn name, and in an isolated layer

Browse Source 
An Alt-click right of a short layer name, inside the wider rename
target, no longer replaces the selection. The isolated layer's own row
now selects the art inside it (layer.selectAll), where it cleared the
selection before. The doc line says the click selects visible, unlocked
art and clears the selection on a hidden or locked layer.

The panel menu's Save Selection submenu has Save Selection…, Update Selection and Edit Selection…, enabled and run as in the Select menu, and lists the document's saved selections: choosing one selects its objects again (`select.recall`).
`object.setProps` with `visible: false` or `locked: true` deselects every selected object that is then hidden or locked, the key object included, as the eye and lock columns do.
Ctrl/Cmd+Alt-clicking an eye switches the other layers to Outline and the row's layer to Preview, or switches all layers back to Preview when the others are in Outline (`layer.outlineOthers`, `layer.previewAll`).
Alt-clicking a layer's or sublayer's name makes it the current layer, as a click does, and selects its art, as its selection square does (`layer.selectAll`, then `layer.setCurrent`). The reference app's [Default keyboard shortcuts](https://web.archive.org/web/20260726060015/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html) page lists Alt-click on the layer name for selecting all objects on the layer.

Object › Arrange › Send to Current Layer returns the error "the target layer is locked or hidden" and leaves the selected objects where they are when the current layer is hidden or locked, or is inside a hidden or locked layer.
Selected objects are deselected, the key object included, when a row drag moves them into a hidden layer or group, when `node.move` moves them into a hidden or locked layer or group, when Merge Selected moves them into a hidden or locked layer, when Collect in New Layer moves them into a new layer inside a hidden or locked layer, when Flatten Artwork moves them into a locked layer, and when applying a data set hides them.
Panel Options › Locate Selected Objects (beyond Illustrator, off by default): when the last selected object changes on the canvas or by a command, the panel opens the layers and groups around it and scrolls to its row, as Locate Object does, without highlighting the row; when Show Layers Only, a search or the filter leaves the object without a row, the panel opens no rows for it and scrolls as with the option off.
