Hold down the ALT key and go to layers / merge visible. It will create a merged layer on top of your existing layers.

Are you an octopus? You can get the same result by using keystrokes only by pressing (at the same time):

Cntrl+Shift+Alt+Right Cntrl+E
Just Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E actually! You don't need to hit both Ctrl buttons. The command is called 'Stamp Visible'.
