Selection semantics are (imho): no selection =~ everything selected

Yes, shortcuts. Hmm, I think Photoshop does it like this:
- when press number key, it goes to opacity selection mode for a while
  where another number key pressed denotes the second digit.
  e.g. 4 would set opacity 40%, pressing 5 quickly afterwards makes it
  45%. IIRC 0 did 100%, 00 did 0%. And with move tool, the opacity
  affected is the layer opacity. It's kinda handy, but maybe a pain
  to implement.

Locking the alpha channel. Erasing on locked alpha layer should paint with
the bg color.
