Is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut to select the next adjacent layer up/down? As opposed to needing to click on it.

I have tried searching, and looking at the available keyboard bindings but haven't found anything suitable, but i could very well be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Only for Designer and Publisher. This is the Designer menu but the shortcuts work for Publisher too.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Those items move the selected layer up or down (forward or back) in the layer stack. They are not equivalent to the Select Next/Previous items in Designer or Publisher.

I saw that, but my point is that selecting and moving a layer forward or backward in the layer stack is not equivalent to only selecting the next or previous layer. Besides, both require a current selection. Otherwise, those items are greyed out, so none of them provide a selection function as such.

Toggling quickly between layers is super helpful for documents with lots of overlapping layers. Please consider it.

I hate using the mouse for anything on the panels. I only want to use it on the drawing.

Cycle through layers with a keyboard shortcuts is something I've been waiting for as long as I have been using Affinity Photo. It is weird this still isn't available, I hope they will make it possible soon.
