It's possible to script this.
Basically, you can just
1. call gimp-drawable-offsets to find the top-left corner of the active layer
2. call gimp-drawable-height and gimp-drawable-width to get the size
of the layer
3. call gimp-rect-select using the bounds you just retrieved.

The procedure browser found in the help menu can help explain how these work.
Once you've written the script and registered the function in the
appropriate place, you can give it a keyboard shortcut using the
keyboard shortcut editor.
