This blog provides an example of bindkey setting to make specific layer(s) visible or not.
Save the following script as layout.il, and load it in your .cdsinit by load("<path>/layout.il").
NOTICE: You need modify the layer name (eg. M1, Metal 1) and purpose name (eg. pin, label) according to different PDKs.
