how to select and deselect a layer using only one bind key?

IC Layout

 Hello! Everybody, GoodEvening to all,

Please, can anybody help me in giving the solution for this question. 

I am using cadence IC514 version.

I would like to select a layer using one bind key also it should deselect the same layer if I press the same bind key.

Thanks in advance...

  •  Hello, Mr.Ted your code has explored some different ideas in my mind...Of course it's not my intention but it is very useful in some particular situations.

    I am very sorry, if I have taken your valuable time.

    Actually, my problem is as follows...

    Initially I had set a bindkey to make invisible all layers in my layout. 

    procedure(lsw_inv()

        leSetEntryLayer(list("Bondpad" "drawing"))

        leSetAllLayerVisible(nil)

        hiRedraw()

    );procedure

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Alt<Key>i" "lsw_inv")

    In a similar manner I had set a bind key to make the all layers visible.

    My project manager had asked me to make all layers invisible and if he press Ctrl-2 , Metal2 and via1(M2_M1c) has to be visible.

    Also if he press same key (Ctrl-2) , Metal2 and via1 has to be invisible.

    I made solution for this by  setting two bindkeys but not one.

    Can U help me in this way.

    procedure(visible()

        leSetLayerVisible(list("Via1" "drawing") t )

        leSetLayerVisible(list("Metal2" "drawing") t )

        hiRedraw()

    );procedure

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Ctrl<Key>1" "visible()") 

    procedure(invisible()

        leSetLayerVisible(list("Via1" "drawing") nil )

        leSetLayerVisible(list("Metal2" "drawing") nil )

        hiRedraw()

    );procedure

    hiSetBindKey("Layout" "Alt<Key>1" "invisible()")

    Now I would like to use only one bind key for the two purposes...
