What Select Every Other Layer does

Three modes replace, extend or subtract from the current selection, and it can select parent, child and track matte source layers. Quick up and down selection, keyboard shortcuts including custom global ones, a compact mode, real-time readouts and optional sound effects make it fast to use.
