Try the pickLayer plugin - it will do what you are describing and
more<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
something I just don't get: Why can you use the "Identify
Features" tool and click anywhere on the canvas to get a context
menu with all objects and select them, BUT there's no way to
select something on the canvas and have it selected in the
Layers Panel?<br>
<br>
How can I select anything on the canvas and see on what layer it
is?<br>
Why is this so convoluted?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Philipp</div>
