	7. The “Layer” Menu

If you have created a floating selection, a temporary layer, called a “floating layer” or “floating selection”, is added to the layer stack. As long as the floating layer persists, you can work only on it. To work on the rest of the image, you must “anchor” the floating layer to the former active layer with the Anchor layer command. If the image does not contain a floating selection, this menu entry is disabled.

	If there is an active selection tool, the mouse pointer is displayed with an anchor icon when it is outside of the selection.

7.6.1. Activate the Command

You can access this command from the image menubar through Layer → Anchor layer,
or by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H.
