I've found a number of posts asking for this in general back as far as 2015, but with no apparent resolution. I know I can assign a shortcut to hide a layer and a different one to show a layer, but that's kind of clumsy. Is there a way (or a workaround) to simply toggle layer visibility with the keyboard, rather than having to mouse/pen-navigate to the layer stack and click?

Seems like it should be pretty straightforward to implement, really.

Thanks.

I have show/hide layer set to 'U' and 'Y' respectively, 'Y' is normally assigned to the Transparency tool, I just change that to 'R'

That works, although it's still two keys.

Thanks.

I second that. Please allow to use the same keyboard shorcut to toggle between two mutually exclusive commands! Or alternatively, make the command a toggle itself. This works very well both in Photoshop and Pixelmator Pro.

I asked for the same feature, along with other keyboard improvements. If anyone else show some interest maybe the devs will notice it, it's such an easy feature to implement, I hope they'll consider it:
