Description Raghavendra kamath 2014-10-10 14:04:58 UTC 
This is a request for a shortcut for moving layers or mask up and down in layer stack. currently the only way to do it is click up and down arrow in layer stack docker.

the shortcuts can be ctrl + ]  for up and ctrl + [ for moving down

i searched in configure shortcut dialogue box but couldn't find a entry to have a custom shortcut for this action.


Reproducible: Always

there was a duplicate bug which requested following functionality : 

We need a fast way to move layers to the top or bottom of the layer stack. Now only way is to grab and drag move them or click the move layer icons many times.

Proposed method would be to Shift+click the move icons to send the layers to top or bottom.

patch assigning default shortcut for raising and lowering a layer

This patch only assigns shortcut for moving layer one step up and down, I am yet to find a way to move layer to absolute top and down.
I have assigned the shortcut for moving up -> 'Ctrl+]' and for moving down -> 'Ctrl+['
these were assigned to rotate canvas earlier but we already have number 4 and 6 hence it was redundant for that and besides PS also has similar shortcut for moving layer up and down.

Updated patch

On Animtims suggestion i changed the shortcuts and kept the rotation shortcut as it is
the new proposed shortcuts are :
move layer up - Ctrl + PgUp
move layer down - Ctrl + Pgdwn

this will be inline with our shortcut for activating layers
