I really wish there was a dedicated Eraser tool. So here is another request to implement it. The workarounds might be helpful for some cases but for users coming from Photoshop this is a bit of a step back.

I’m not sure if switching the brush category when switching to the eraser tool is the best option. Let’s say I have a “Favorite” category, where brushes, erasers and maybe other tools are mixed. When I’m painting with brush “F1” (a brush from that category) , then use “F2” (an eraser from that categ…

I would think there are 3 options: No brush category filtering (i.e. don’t change brush categories) Change categories to and from the eraser category, perhaps specify the name in an input box (e.g. I label my tags with numbers to order them, so erasers can be “0. Erasers”) Exclude tags from filter…

I’d certainly go for option 1. A lot if not most artists have a “Favorite” or “Quick” collection of brushes. And if the program allows it, there are several tools mixed in there. This allows to “one-click” through everything that you often need. As soon as I’m moved out of that list, it becomes muc…

Unfortunately, Krita has not this kind of “box”, where you can collect everything you often use. Michelist

No, you only have one docker. You do have a favourites tag category to put your go-to brushes in. Thing is, I would want there to be 8 erasers, markers, pencils, some paint brushes, etc. so I end up having to scroll (or set tiny brush thumbnails - not ideal either). And switching tags is done throu…

Or another brushes docker that you can set to a different tag category. That would also help. Made a new feature request following this discussion: [image] Add a second brush docker - so you can easily mix and match brushes from multiple tags Feature Requests I often need…

I guess a quick access docker like in CSP would be best. There I have brushes, erasers, rulers, selections tools and even something like “flip horizontal” in there.

[image] Hologram: @freyalupen would a brush docker Tag synchronisation be hard for you to implement as option in the user preferences? My take on this idea is; the ‘Toggle Eraser Preset’ action I implemented switches between a stored ‘brush’ and ‘eraser’ (any preset you choose while ‘Eraser …

That would be an elegant solution!

[image] Hologram: Or another brushes docker that you can set to a different tag category. This I’d consider a crutch. In my opinion the only logical way to have a dedicated eraser tool would be to switch to ‘erasers’ in the brush docker (what you already suggested). Any other way nobody would…
