Currently I use the e key in krita to turn eraser mode on and off. Sometimes this isn't convenient, because for example I want to sketch with a pressure sensitive brush, but erase with an opaque eraser (whereas eraser mode will give me a pressure sensitive eraser). I can do this using the different ends of the stylus. However, turning the stylus over isn't nearly as convenient as a key press. A solution to get the best of both worlds could be as simple as allowing me to 'pretend' that I've turned the stylus over with a keypress, i.e. a shortcut that swaps the pen-end and eraser-end presets. Note about having shortcuts to select presets (copied from irc): <Thra11> deevad, sounds good, although I was thinking it would be nice to switch to an eraser and switch back again by pressing the same key. Shortcuts for favourite presets would mean a) I have to remember which presets my brush and eraser are and b) I'd have to press 2 different keys (I like to use my tablet buttons and there aren't many of them.). One other major (for me) issue is that if you turn the stylus over to erase, then back again, all the modifications to the preset (e.g. size) are remembered, whereas reselecting presets resets to the defined preset size. <Thra11> (I'm not saying favourite preset shortcuts wouldn't be handy, just that I don't see them solving this specific problem) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Actual Results: No shortcut exists Expected Results: A nice handy shortcut
I would also like as T Hall describe above to have a "switch key" on keyboard to switch 2 presets : Here a scenario : 1) Open Krita, a canvas, select the freehand painting tool ( a default preset load ) select a brush "preset A" and paint 2) press the switch key on keyboard ( a default preset load ) 3) choose a "preset B" , paint 4) press the switch key on keyboard ( "preset A" loaded back ) ,paint 5) press the switch key on keyboard ( "preset B" loaded back ) ,paint 6) press the switch key on keyboard ( "preset A" loaded back ) ,paint 7) etc... Can be good for many stage of drawing painting who require working with 2 presets : - Pencil preset soft + opaque eraser - Paint opaque + blending / smudging edges - filling zone with experimental brush + small brush rounded for filling little details - Speedpainting eroded brush + big airbrush to correct values
