Toggle key between Brush and Eraser

[ashf]

Would be nice if  you could add toggle key to switch between brush and eraser. (not B/E but single key to switch)
I was asked this functionality from artists who use Affinity as painting tool many times.

Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts options?

Toggle means switching between brush and eraser with the same key. is that possible?

Yes, you can. You have to adapt the keyboard shortcuts for Photo >> Tools. But there are several tools assigned to key B and E, so you have to reduce them to Paint Brush and Erase Brush Tool only to get a toggle (I think, never tested completely).

I see, that's how the same shortcut works for multiple tool.
One thing I wish is that if there's a way to keep original key(B/E) and assign independent shortcut.

This could be with Ctrl pressed. Like in the Pixel Tool, right?

Close.
I meant not a modifier(only while holding the key) but a switch(means you can release the key)

This. I really like the hold-CTRL function to erase. It's a must for me, and it doesn't exist in any other painting program I tested before.

But it's limited to the pixel brush, I hope they update this to make it possible to use it with the Brush tool (not only the Pixel tool)
