Several times I've been building screens and want to replace a combo on layer 0 or 1 or access the right-click menu for that combo, but an FFC on screen blocks access to those combo layers. This means you have to drag the FFC away, do your business, then drag the FFC back. If you have a very particular spot you need the FFC, this gets even more tedious.
 
I think a way to bypass the FFC and click "through" to the layers under it would be really handy for these situations.  I'm not really sure what parts of the interface are easier/harder to edit but I could see this working a few ways:
  • Add an option to the right-click FFC menu to access the current layer combo menu for the clicked location
  • Add a keyboard command for this (i.e. CTRL + click bypasses FFC's)
  • Make it so that a long mouse press will bypass FFC's
I'm pretty agnostic to the solution but this comes up really, really frequently for me.

Just wanted to chime in and say that, while I agree about this, I'm not a fan of longpresses. They're a little bit of a time-waster and generally unintuitive. But, again, fully support this being done (in a way that doesn't involve a longpress).

I'd easily say this should be implemented as 

 

  • Add an option to the right-click FFC menu to access the current layer combo menu for the clicked location

This should be fairly simple, just have a menu option bound to a function that calls the right click menu for the same x,y but bypassing FFCs entirely.
