How to quickly select switch layer folder

Post by peng »

ALT+R mouse button always select the layer directly, I wonder if there is a quicker way to select the switch layer folder?

Yes, there is!

Instead of Alt+RMB, try Alt+Shift+RMB. This selects the parent group for the selected artwork layer, which in this case is the Switch Layer.

There is one limitation with this method: If the selected art layer is inside a group, then the shortcut will select the art layer's group instead of the Switch layer. I have two tricks for selecting the Switch layer above the child group. I'm a little busy right now, but I'll share them a little later.
