      @PatapuffupataP 5 років тому

      @Serica Do you really need to look for the x? For me its location is pretty clear, I know quite well where it's on the keyboard. However every user is different so no hate here of course.

    • @fathead8865

      not sure if sarcasm but short cut keys on wacom tables can easily be used with the same hand you are holding pen. opposite hand is always on keyboard.

      Because some people works without the keyboard

    • @flipletape9706
      @flipletape9706 5 років тому +2

      Then why would you give up such an important, pressure sensitive, function like the eraser for a simple shortcut instead of using a tablet function key. And realistically, how many times would you use the background switching function to make it worth keying any of them for that in the first place, as it's one of the most accessible function on the UI interface to start with? That should also be more than easily accessible through your colour pallet anyways. Personally, I never even used that function in my entire career. I don't even really see the function of it to start with.

    • @Kevin-ph2hm
      @Kevin-ph2hm 5 років тому +1

      @@flipletape9706 For me it's the most used key after modifiers and space. moving over to the UI button hundreds of times while painting in masks would absolutely kill my productivity. But I agree, using the eraser is both, a waste of function and time. Even clicking the UI would be faster then flipping the pen all the time.
      Drawing the circle also is really made me cringe too. How can that even be considered with circular paths and selections existing?
