I'd go even further with that: make âantialiasedâ one of specific brush settings, not the âtoolâ itself. That way one would be able to have as much âpencilsâ predefined as one sees fit. And all that without touching tool tickbox back and forth if needed. BTW. Is it possible to assign shortcut to a brush type or tool preset?

But that is what tool presets are for. Not a problem, I think, as far as presets are accessible through shortcuts. Best regards! thebodzio
