A shortcut key to toggle between move tool's layer/group option would be useful.
I looked for but there is no way to assign it.

1. Create two Tool Presets that consist of:
a) Move Tool + Auto-Select + Layer
b) Move Tool + Auto-Select + Group
2. Create an Action that records when you select your Tool Preset:
Make sure to assign a Function Key when naming your Action.
(e.g. You can assign F1 for Group and Shift+F1 for Layer)
Hope that helps :)

If you want to make a single shortcut that actually toggles, here's how (in Illustrator 2018). Make tool presets as above, but make 3 actions as follows;
Auto-select toggle (F3)
If
current layer is layer group
Then Play Action: action "Auto select layer"
Else Play Action: action "Auto select group"
Auto-select layer
Select tool preset "Autoselect layer"
Auto-select group
Select tool preset "Autoselect group"
Use "Insert Conditional" to get the If statement in the action.
Toggle-ahoy!
