Fantastic! That is the coolest trick in a long time! Thanks for sharing! BTW: If you press SHIFT + CMD/CTRL you can select more than one layer at a time…

Now that is realy simple.
But watch this:
If you try that with a a layer inside of a group, it will only select the group that is containing the layer.
So do an ALT + Rightclick and you will get the layer inside of a group!
ALT + Rightclick for mac Users:
Option and CTRL (not CMD) + Klick.And even better if your current tool is some selection tool, you can press CMD + CTRL + ALT and Klick and it gets you the layer without changing you tool.
NOW thats insane! Mail me if you liked it!
