Is there a keyboard shortcut to make the Layers Panel active?


Recommended Posts

Is there a keyboard shortcut to make the Layers Panel active? I want to make a macro to take action in the layers panel and I need to make it active to do so. I can probably set up a mouse click, but a keyboard shortcut is preferred.

I think you should use a mouse click.

You can setup a keyboard shortcut (as @StuartRc mentioned) but it's a toggle, which means that using it will do one of two things:

  1. If the Layers panel is already visible somewhere in the studio, it will hide it.
  2. If it is not visible in the studio, it will make it visible, and active.

As far as I can see, to use that in a macro you would need to make it either a pre-condition that it not be visible in the Studio (so you could use the shortcut once), or make it a pre-condition that it be visible in the Studio (so you could use the shortcut twice).
