Re: [Bf-committers] hotkeys and sculpting

2010-07-15 Thread Michael Williamson
My initial reaction was ewww, muscle memory It's about the only 
shortcut I use in sculpt mode (I switch brushes using the toolbar)

so I've never had Toms problem...

But after thinking a while, I'd think that rather than moving it to 
something obscure it'd be better on all those keys freed up because 
you're in sculpt mode

ctrl seemed a much better candidate as lasso select will never be 
used in sculpt mode, and  it's consistent with painting apps like, 
well, painter!
and ctrl is right there as a home key...

but then I remembered that ctrl is used in sculpt now!
... so what about RMB?
select is awkward and feels like a mistake in sculpt mode... especially 
when you accidentally select and drag other objects in the scene...

it may not suit all tablet users, but feels more progressive than 
choosing a random unused key

 For sculpting I'd really like to have the Fkey related key combos
 changed to some other key.

 The reason for this is that even though I use Blender almost
 exclusively for sculpting work - whenever I want to switch to the
 flatten brush, I press the FKey.

 Thus I would recommend that the brush radius, strength, and angle
 functions currently bound to the FKey be moved to a different key -
 perhaps the HKey.
