Bindkey for layers below mouse cursor

bdjones1

Hello,

At a previous company I had a bindkey (Shift+Home) that would display all layers below the mouse cursor.  This called a custom Skill function from the PDK, and I've been unable to replicate it or find a similar function.  Any suggestions on how to implement this?

Thanks!

    Brian,

    How about this? I just threw it together (so not too much testing):

Display the layers under the cursor - assume that
you'd call this from a bindkey. This is not needed
in IC61X since you have the dynamic selection assistant,
but might be useful in IC5141.

Call:

CCFlayersUnderCursor()
