Yes and thinking about it, isn't it exactly what the grid op does ?

Yes, not sure if it belongs to the clone tool. Since you would need to have an 
uniform color when drawing. But we have barely scratch what is possible to do 
with colors and drawing in Krita so far, and I would imagine that a color mode 
for the "brush" tool that automatically pick the color on a layer could work 
very well for that effect (either continuously or on first stroke).

Well we have multiview (and multiwindow for that matter but the docker are a 
bit in the way). What could be cool is a "tracking" mode for view where all 
view show the same position, but with different visible layers, or something 
like that (but it is not easy at all to implement the different visibility 
thing).
