In QGIS there is not a specific hotkey by default for your task. By default, you have Crtl+Shift+U that shows all the layers and Crtl+Shift+H that hide them.
 

Where is layer styling in QGIS?

Quote from video: Types there's another video that explain more the different raster data types in this video we'll look at the styling. Let's open the layer styling panel by clicking this button or pressing f7 and

Can you rearrange the order of Layers?

You can also control the stacking order of layered images by selecting them in the Layers panel and choosing Layer > Arrange, and then choosing Bring To Front, Bring Forward, Send Backward, or Send To Back.

What lets you adjust the order of the layering of objects when rendering content?

The z-index attribute lets you adjust the order of the layering of objects when rendering content.
 

Can we change the stacking order of layers?

You can also change the stacking order of individual objects by using the Arrange submenu (on the Modify menu). The stacking order on a layer is different from the order of the layers. An object can be at the top of the object list and still be underneath an object on a higher layer.
