Name	Description	HotKey
Layers -> Layers	Display a list of all layers, plus additional options	L
Layers -> Layer Blending	Show properties of the current layer
Layers -> New	Add a new layer. It is automatically made current	Shift+Ctrl+N
Layers -> Add Layer w/ Normal Map	Create a new layer and import a normal map here. The normal map will not displace the geometry, but it will be shown on the layer with the special blending operation
Layers -> Duplicate	Duplicate	Shift+Ctrl+D
Layers -> Delete	Delete this layer	Shift+Ctrl+DELETE
Layers -> Merge Visible	Merge all visible layers together. This action is undoable
Layers -> Merge Down	Merge the current layer with the layer below
Layers -> Merge Up	Merge this layer with the layer above
Layers -> Copy Channels	Copy any channel of one layer to any other channel of this or other layer
Layers -> Apply Layer Blending	Apply blending and all effects to the current layer
Layers -> Discard Clip Masked Pixels	Discards any pixels that are hidden on the current layer, being masked by the clip mask layer
Layers -> Erase Unfrozen	Delete unfrozen parts of the current layer. Enable or disable the depth, color, and Glossiness channels to restrict this action to a specific channel	DELETE
Layers -> Fill Entire Layer	Fill entire layer using current material and color	INS
Layers -> Refill Material	Re-fill non-transparent areas of this layer with current material. It is convenient to change material used to fill the layer	Ctrl+INS
Layers -> Clamp Min. Depth	Clamps the depth of a layer by performing a minimum depth scan based off the parameter you specify. Good for removing "spikes" created while texture painting a depth map
Layers -> Clamp Layer Depth	Clamp/Plateau depth of the layer

Symmetrical Transform

Layers -> Symmetrical Transform -> Flip Layer and Duplicate	Duplicate the layer, then flip it using topological symmetry
Layers -> Symmetrical Transform -> Flip Layer	Flip the layer using topological symmetry
Layers -> Symmetrical Transform -> Copy Blue to Red	This option copies the blue parts of the mesh to the red areas. Define the blue and red areas with the 'Topological symmetry' tool first
Layers -> Symmetrical Transform -> Copy Red to Blue	This option copies the red parts of the mesh to the blue areas. Define the red and blue areas with the 'Topological symmetry' tool first

Import

Layers -> Import -> Metalness	Metalness
Layers -> Import -> Depth	Import a depth file into the current layer

Export

Layers -> Export -> Color	Export color information in the current layer to a file
Layers -> Export -> Metalness	Metalness
Layers -> Export -> Depth	Export depth information in the current layer to a file
