Description
The new layer groups functionality is great - it's really handy for quickly comparing data. Something that would really round this off would be keyboard shortcuts for switching layer groups. Perhaps ctrl+shift+1 through to ctrl+shift+9 could be assigned to the first 9 layer groups?
Assigned to Martin for comment. I can implement this if you think it's a good idea too.

No objections from me to add shortcuts :-)
Regarding implementation - groups are currently alphabetically ordered, so adding a new group may shift numbering of existing ones (maybe not a big deal). Also, the actions are regenerated on the fly when menu is opened (may have some consequences with shortcuts).
Maybe there could be a shortcut for the tool button (to open the menu) and then actions could be named "&1 Group A", "&2 Group B" so they would get automatic shortcut from the underlined number.

Is it possible to add Ctrl + LMB to collapse/expand all layers functionality, and the same shortcut to show/hide all layers functionality?
There would also be great to have Ctrl + arrow shortcut to rewind to the first/last row/column of the attribute table.

To me, this should work similar to the application switcher (Alt+Tab, Alt+Shift+Tab) in Ubuntu/Unity. The 'Manage Layer Visibility' drop-down menu should be visible when switching visibility presets using a shortcut (Crtl+Tab?).
