Gimp 2.10 / Linux: Keyboard equivalent to Shift+Left-Mouse-Click - lawlist - 09-19-2022
I'm running Gimp 2.10 on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS). Without using the mouse, is it possible to select a layer and make it visible, and hide all other layers? E.g., a sequence of keyboard entries that can accomplish the same thing as using the mouse to Shift+Left-Mouse-Click on the eye-icon area to the left of each layer in the applicable toolbox tab?

Yes, There is a keyboard shortcut, normally disabled.
Assign a key to it see: https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-concepts-shortcuts.html

However, that shortcut reacts just like the space-bar and the enter key. None of those keys, nor the keyboard shortcut assignment, permit me to select all layers or de-select all layers in one fell swoop. I tried pressing the shift key while using the keyboard shortcut, and it has no effect; i.e., I can only toggle visibility of one layer at a time. I would like to select and de-select all layers with a keyboard sequence, having the same effect as SHIFT+left-mouse-click on the eye-icon area.

My ofn-layer-over-background script makes the acive layer and the bottom layer of the stack the only visible layers. Of you course you can make that bottom layer a fully transparent layer to only have the selected layer showing.
The script can be assigned to a shortcut.

Thank you for the referral to the python scripts. Getting a working version of Gimp with python support on Ubuntu 20.04 is a Pandora's Box. I spent some time trying my luck and encountered unmet dependencies beginning with python-cairo, which I skipped, and then installing the gimp-python.debs failed too. I'm restoring my Ubuntu virtual machine to where it was at yesterday before this project began, and I'll have to tackle this issue at a later date. Here is the thread discussing installation, for my future reference or anyone else who may need the link:

Install a flatpak GIMP and you will have python support.

Here I explain how I get python 2 working on Ubuntu 20.04 https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-resynthesizer-gimp-python-Linux-ubuntu-20-04-all-files-to-install
You might want to read the rich2005 and Tas_mania's comments of my thread(above link) as Tas_mania did made an appimage "Launcher" (just few Mb) to have your native GIMP (PPA or others) launched with python 2, instead of doing all what I did in the first post
