Can "Preview as Token" hide GM Layer?

As a GM who uses classic Fog of War and hidden objects on the GM layer, I'd like to quickly and easily see what a player sees without having to switch to player view (especially if I'm working on a map my players are not on yet). CMD+L (on mac) with a selected token works nicely for Fog of War, but it still shows objects on the GM layer.  Can it hide objects on the GM layer?  Or can there be another hotkey that (temporarily) makes FOW opacity 100% and GM Layer opacity 0% so I get an easy / quick way to see what a player would see? GM'S CURRENT VIEW PREVIEW AS TOKEN WITH PLAYER TOKEN SELECTED Thanks!
+1, if it can be done. Still seeing GM-layer objects in player-token previews can be very confusing.

Not saying this is a bad idea, but the whole point of Ctrl+L is to do a line of sight check, which includes the GM layer.  It is not a test for what the player sees, for that we would need an entirely different command.  As a current workaround, you can open your dummy account in another (such as an incognito or private) tab and have that show what the player sees.
