Description
At this moment when you delete a layer from the layer tree, you loose 'currentlayer/selection': nothing else is selected/current anymore at that moment.
While often in my workflow, I for example have to delete a couple of layers. So it would be handy (and I think more intuitive, looking at other programs), to move the selection to the layer below the old selection, unless there is not layer below, then move the selection to the layer above (if available).
Others agree with this?
I also can imagine that you open a can of worms with this, when you have a complicated layerlist with groups etc... But my first idea would be that this only should be done in current tree-part (so in root you would start removing groups, when in a group you start removing layers).
