Feature request: Add hotkey to select a box that's behind another box #5

Description

@JoyfulGen

Because Mothra allows for bounding boxes to be overlapping, there can sometimes be up to 4 boxes one on top of the other--particularly in files that have been produced by YOLO and not a human. However, it's only possible for the user to select the top-most box. If the user wants to access boxes behind the top-most box, they have to either move the top box or delete it, which is not always desired or efficient.

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a hotkey that basically says "no, not that box, the box behind that." So when the key is pressed, clicking on a stack of boxes selects the second box, rather than the first. (I don't think it's necessary to go beyond the second level, because that will get overly confusing. I reckon that if the user can access both the first and second boxes, that should be enough to get going.)
