Photoshop Layer change Event ?

Basically, I'm trying to make an action run every time i select a layer/change from a layer to another through the Script Events Manager on PS CC 2013, but I don't see it in the "Photoshop Event:" dropdown menu. There's an option to add an event but I don't know if this is even possible or how could I look for it, so any help would be massively appreciated.
The reason I want to do this is so that every time I change a layer and undo the first brush stroke i paint, it takes me back to the previous layer which is annoying and could lead to painting on the wrong layer. My idea would be to make it so that the quick mask mode is quickly toggled on and then back off through an action, every time i change layers, to prevent this photoshop behavior. Since entering and then exiting quick mask mode is stored on the history panel, I would stay in the current selected layer regardless if I undo the first brush stroke. I know they fixed this odd behaviour in current versions but currently I can't update so I'm trying to work around it with this theorical method.
If there's a better way to do this though, I'm all ears. I want it to be as seamless as possible with a very minuscule performance impact and easy to do for someone who doesnt know how to script.
I attached an image to illustrate my point
