in the FXstack under color you'll find Scancleaner
it will remove all white but....
if you want it removed neatly "one on one" you'll always need to adjust the profile (click on the black and white square, and delete the two extra points to make the graph straight)
admittedly this last step seems strange, i asked the team to change the default ...but no reaction yet.

In the FX Stack, you can get to it by pressing the FX button in the main panel - from the Add FX list, choose Scan Cleaner - you will find this within the Color section.

From there, make sure preview is 'on' so that you can see what the results will be.

or click on the black and white square, and click on the straight graph preset left-side,
but this flat profile fits only if your scans are pecfected "equalized",
I mean the "supposed" black really black (0, 0, 0) and the "supposed" white really white (255, 255, 255),
which is mostly never the case when you scan straightly your drawings ...
so, yes, you'll always need to adjust the profile, but not always by using the straight profile. tweak it with preview = on,
or stack an Histogram-FX before the Scan-Cleaner-FX to prepare the raw scans to the ScanCleaner +straight profile.
I generally prefer to tweak the (spline) profile directly in the ScanCleaner-FX.

aha...
i see now where my problem lies.

i hardly ever use scancleaner to clean scans but (almost) always to remove white from digital images (where the white is mostly 255)

yet it would be nice if we could set a default value ourselves

Thanks! Now is there a way to fill one shape (layer 1), but have the fill only appear on layer 2?
(fill all layer)

I have seen this script in mirage...

no need script anymore for that ...
make "current" Layer the empty one to receive color,
and choose the "source" in fill option settings (Front, Back, or Display).

Volumetrics lightning is not in the animation version (TVPA) but it will appear in the video version.
