Switching Sample Layers with shortcut key for Clone and Heal tool?

[NoobNobods]

Hello,

I'm looking to apply a short cut key that would toggle brush options to sample between the "Current Layer, Current & Below and All Layers" options when using clone stamp or heal stamps tools.

Is this optional?

Thanks in advance.

Here is the script. Assign a hotkey to it (to them).

Remove the first lines of code to force selecting the healing brush.

Thank you, r-bin!

How may I correctly write an "if" statement in the script to toggle between these 2 actions using the same hotkey?

// Current layer

options.putBoolean(charIDToTypeID("StmS"), false);

options.putBoolean(charIDToTypeID("StmB"), false);

// Current & below

options.putBoolean(charIDToTypeID("StmS"), true);

options.putBoolean(charIDToTypeID("StmB"), true);

OK ))

try
    {
    var r = new ActionReference();
    r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("tool"));
    r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("application"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));

    var ret = executeActionGet(r);

    var options = ret.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("currentToolOptions"));           
    var tool = ret.getEnumerationType(stringIDToTypeID("tool"));

    var s = options.getBoolean(charIDToTypeID("StmS"));
    var b = options.getBoolean(charIDToTypeID("StmB"));

    if (s && b)
        {
        options.putBoolean(charIDToTypeID("StmS"), false);
        options.putBoolean(charIDToTypeID("StmB"), false);
        }
    else
        {
        options.putBoolean(charIDToTypeID("StmS"), true);
        options.putBoolean(charIDToTypeID("StmB"), true);
        }

    var r = new ActionReference();
    r.putClass(tool);

    var d = new ActionDescriptor();
    d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
    d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("to"), stringIDToTypeID("null"), options);

    executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);
    }
catch (e) { /*alert(e)*/  }

After you added the script it appears in the keyboard shortcuts option under 'Scripts'. Here you can assign the shortcut
