Feature request: update metrics on all layers

Manually updating the metrics (CTRL+CMD+m) for every layer in a font can be tedious. How about CTRL+CMD+SHIFT+m to update the metrics for every layer of the selected glyph(s)?

try to run this:

for selectedLayer in Glyphs.font.selectedLayers:
    for layer in selectedLayer.parent.layers:
        layer.syncMetrics()

What you want is Ctrl-Opt-Cmd-M.

Thanks, Rainer. That isn’t in the list of shortcuts in Glyphs help.

When I update metrics of all layers (control+option+command+M), bracket and brace layers are skipped and i have to go through them manually. Georg, could you make it run through all of those as well?
