what shortcut to turn off or on all layers in CS4?

I remember I was able to turn off and on (make all invisible or visible again) with either alt or some other combination of keys in one of the old version. I can't find a way to do that in CS4. What is the key to do that?

Thanks!

One way is to alt-click on the layer's eye-con, to make it the only visible layer, then click it again to make it invisible.

If you do much turning layers on and off, be sure to check out Layer Comps. This feature is a very fast way to bring up different configurations of layers that is not often mentioned here.

you can also drag over any or all of the eyeballs in the column to turn them off/on.

Don't use CS4... but this link was there in the forum:
