Three buttons allow to choose which entity Move tool will act on:
Layer, Selection or Path. Options to <span class="guilabel">Tool toggle</span>
are somewhat different:
</p>
<div class="orderedlist">
<ol type="1">
<li>
<p>
<span class="guilabel">Layer</span>: When this option is selected, you
can choose, either by clicking on a radio-button or by pressing

</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>
<span class="emphasis"><em>Pick a Layer or Guide to move</em></span>: If your image
has several layers, they must be visible and have at least a few
non-transparent pixels so that you can find them (only the active
layer has a dotted border). The mouse pointer turns to a small
hand you can use to click on the layer you want pick. You must
click first on a non-transparent pixel to active the layer and
move it.

<p>
The Move tool is used also to move guides. See glossary for
<a href="go01.html#glossary-guides">Guides</a>.

<p>
To place guides precisely think of

<span class="emphasis"><em>Move the Active Layer</em></span>, i.e the layer with a

<p>
<span class="guilabel">Selection</span>: one possibility only in this
case: Move the selection.
