I love the new feature “Toggle eraser preset” in Krita 5.2 to have one hotkey to change between the brush in use and an eraser. But when I “Set eraser mode” on the brush I was using for painting, its tile in Brush Presets got an icon in the upper left-hand corner and the hotkey for “Toggle eraser preset” now switches to that brush (if I’m on a different one) or does nothing (if I’m on that brush).
My question is how I can set what’s used as “the eraser” and/or keep any brushes from automatically being made “the eraser” (if that’s what happened).
What this does is emulate an eraser tip of a stylus.
So it basically behaves as if you flipped your stylus to use the eraser (most Wacom pens have that, on other vendors it’s less common to have an eraser), although you’re still painting with the “normal” painting tip.
Each stylus tip remembers the preset independently, and Krita doesn’t actually care if that brush preset erases or not.
To not get confused if you’re working with (emulated) eraser tip or not, you really have to put this action on a toolbar. Unfortunately it has the same icon as erser mode, so it’s still kinda confusing…

After messing with it a bit, I see what you mean. It is confusing: the eraser for the pencil, ink fineliner, and marker brushes I used most recently were all set to the pencil. To change them, I had to select each one, switch to the eraser preset, select the real eraser, then switch back.
