Magic Brush and Eraser Hot Keys Missing

Brian Knapp

It is my understanding that the hot key for the Magic Brush should be 'B', and for the Magic Eraser, 'e'.  While the Brush and Eraser do have hot keys, neither the Magic Brush or Magic Erase have them.  When I click on the tool menu at the top, the drop-down shows no key listed to the right for either the Magic Brush or Magic Eraser.  I don't see any place to set these keys to what they should be, or to my choice.  I just updated to the most recent version of Capture One and the problem persists.

    B is the shortcut for the regular brush tool; e is for the regular eraser. If you want shortcut keys for the 'magic' tools, you need to create a custom shortcut set. I've got mine set to Opt-b for Magic Brush and Opt-e for Magic Eraser.

    A byproduct of using your own custom shortcut set is that future versions of C1 won't change it (at least they haven't changed mine yet). I find it very nice not to have 'expected' behaviors suddenly change (and not always accompanied with announcements).

    I looked for a way to do this, and was unable to find one.

    When I select "Edit ... Edit Keyboard Shortcuts" I don't find any of the Brush / Eraser selections listed, so I'm unsure where to go to create this custom assignment.  I've even created a new one using the '+' key, and still don't see any of the brush/eraser options show up in either the "Shortcut Keys" or "Speed Edit Keys" lists.

    I'm obviously doing something wrong.

    Try typing "magic" in the Search box? Both magic tools (and only those tools) show up when I do that. These tools are "cursor tools", which doesn't make sense to me. I find that searching for tool names is the best way to find tools to customize.
