How do I toggle the active layer on/off without moving my mouse?

You can set a keystroke for the hide and the show option like below.

Thanks, but AP doesn't have a Draw Persona and Hide does not appear on the Layers Menu in the Photo Persona (the only persona with access to layers, apparently).

I wish Affinity would just get rid of these Personas. I can do one thing only here and another only there. Very frustrating.

The 1.7 beta of Photo has Layer > Hide and Layer > Show in the menus, and you can set keyboard shortcuts for them.
