If you want to change the opacity of a layer quickly then you can use the number keypad on your keyboard (make sure you have the layer selected first). The following numbers give you the following opacity:

1 - 10%
2 - 20%
3 - 30%
4 - 40%
5 - 50%
6 - 60%
7 - 70%
8 - 80%
9 - 90%
0 - 100%

If you want a more specific number then you can always press a combination of numbers, so if you wanted an opacity of 73% press 7 and then 3 in quick succession and it will change to 73%.

P.S this also works with multiple layers selected
