If I may add more to this request: all the layer properties that work in this on\off fashion should be available as customisable shortcuts that toggle the state of the property.

For example:
- The pass-through mode of a Group Layer (pass-through\normal).
- The visibility mode of a layer (visible\non visible).
- The locked mode of a layer (locked\unlocked).

This way users that rely on changing these properties often can assign shortcuts and save time.

I was just looking for shortcuts to toggle the various layer properties such as visibility and alpha inheritance, I'm astonished it's not yet possible in 3.0. One can set shortcuts to select Invisible Layers and Visible Layers (which IMO are actions that are invoked much less often than toggling layer properties)

The closest thing to a keyboard "shortcut" to toggle these properties is to assign a shortcut 2Layer Properties window, and use Alt-I, Alt-V, Alt-A, and Alt-L, to toggle alpha inheritance, visibility, alpha lock, and lockedness, respectively, then just close the window with the Esc.

Dear Nmaghufurusman, have you contacted foundation@krita.org to get a quote for this feature request? Given the size of the feature compared to stretch goals in the kickstarter campaigns, the cost probably would be in the order of 1500 euros or so. That covers about two weeks of work, including design and testing. 

There are about six hundred bugs and feature requests waiting to be implemented: we are overloaded as it is. So, otherwise, this feature, no matter how useful, will have to wait for someone to find enough spare time to implement it as a volunteer. Or you could also, of course, implement it yourself, or find another C++/Qt developer to implement it and submit it as a patch.

That's not to say I don't recognize the usefulness of this feature: it's just that there is too much work to do, and not enough time. If _I_ have any spare time, which hasn't happened for two years, I will work on the flipbook feature, because I need that myself, or would, if I had any time to for drawing.

I'm using 2.9.1, there's the default shortcut of F2 to bring that Layer Properties window.
I use this to quickly rename a layer  for not having to double click on it: F2, Tab, Tab (to bring focus to the layer name text field), write layer name, Enter.

I n 3.0 the default shortcut is F3.

Can you please check the latest Krita version.

the shortcuts dialog box has option for setting shortcut for alpha inheritance.

thank you

Marking this needs info for now

Hi Raghavendra, all is well now.

Thanks for confirming
