Move Tool Auto-Select Group/Layer...

Hi:



I regularly use the Move Tool's Options palette Auto-Select Group functionality. I've not been able to find any reference to a keyboard shortcut for being able to temporarily toggle from auto-selecting Group to Layer. It seems to me that it would be a useful shortcut.



As it is, the user must select ''Layer'' in the drop-down menu in the Options palette. It would be much quicker if a keyboard shortcut enabled this toggling.



I've noticed thatwhile the Auto-Select option is set to Groupyou can hold the command key and right-click a layer (with the Move cursor) within a group and it will be selected in the Layer panel. At this point, you can move the selected layer using the arrow keys, but not with the Move cursor. It would be really slick if the Move tool cooperated and allowed moving the selected layer.



Is there some shortcut or technique I'm missing that would approximate this functionality?
