  • Quick key for alternating between PAINT and ERASE?

    Posted by Eric Chard on December 21, 2018 at 11:12 pm

    Is there a key that you can hold down while PAINTING (ie BRUSH), that will automagically alternate between painting and erasing?

    I’m looking to avoid changing tools: specifically I’m looking for a key that will, while I hold it down, engage the Erase function, and when released will revert back to painting/Brush.

    Seems there must be, but I’ve disremembered it…. 😉

    Hold the E key. You’ll get the eraser for as long as you hold and switch back to the brush when you release. Tapping will swap tools, holding will temporarily toggle.

    It is easier to destroy than to create.
    More fun, too.
