I want to be able to toggle between layer 1/2 when I am in a game. The global hotkoys wont work. I tried multiple keys and combinatios, also applied also restarted app.

Also there is no toggle option to toggle back and forth between layer 1 / 2. Does the "next layer" cycle through them?

Did you enable (tick the box) the global hotkeys AND close the setup screen after applying the settings?
As mentioned in the user guide, global hotkeys are disabled when the main setup window is open.

If you only have two layers turned on, then yes next layer should cycle between them.
