Hi,

[Note: the “Alt”-drag doesn’t work correctly about the first (background) layer! …]

Select a layer in the “Layers” window [to make it “active”] and run this simple script [useful to associate a keyboard shortcut to it!]:

// by FRIdNGE, August 2018
var myLayer0 = app.activeDocument.activeLayer,
myLayer1 = myLayer0.duplicate();
myLayer1.move(LocationOptions.AFTER, myLayer0);

Best,
Michel, for FRIdNGE
