[Gimp-user] Enhancement request: Accessing Erase

[Brendan Scott <disposableemail apps opensourcelaw biz>]

I am having another try at this.

I often find myself switching back and forth between the erase tool and the paintbrush tool.  This involves a 
fair bit of hunting in the toolbox - if I have no eraser preset set - or a little less hunting - if I have a 
preset set - each time I switch tools.

I would like it if changing to erase mode was as easy as choosing an "erase" color from the color palette (or 
color tool).
 
My use case is with a tablet and no keyboard.

For my motivation, see earlier posts.
