Description
I tried to explore this in detail here: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/300336/updated-can-tms-convention-xyz-tiles-be-displayed-in-qgis-3-4
Briefly, TMS-convention tiles have the inverted Y axis as part of their convention. Therefore, I can't get them to display properly in QGIS 3.4 when using a XYZ Tiles layer.
I did spend lots of time Googling to discover if I should be doing this in some other way or of this is resolved in some way, but I couldn't find it.

With the Quick Map Services plugin you can add custom WMS and TMS services. So I think this should become a feature request.

Thanks Giovanni. Do you know if the Quick Map Services plugin will work without having to register tilesets with an external registry? (Some that I have are private and/or in development.)
If this does become a feature request, from my limited perspective I think a simple "select" box in the XYZ Tiles edit window that defaulted to "XYZ" but also offered "TMS" (and perhaps other options, if it makes sense).

Is there any chance that the XYZ URL does more than just string replacement?
Like, rather than just...
../{z}/{x}/{y}.png
...maybe I could do...
../{z}/{x}/${(2^z)-y-1}.png#4

{-y} will invert your axis

- File qgis-tms-inverted-axis.png added
It's documented in the tooltip

Alessandro, that's AWESOME! I never lingered long enough to even know there was a tool tip.
Thank you! :)
