I knew about the presets but was wondering about the shortcut part the
other day. Did you find a way to assign a shortcut to a specific
preset, or do you keep the dock opened on the side and always change
the preset by clicking in it?
I think to be able to keep the brush but go from one preset to another
for instance with shortcuts would be helpful.
