Make Paint Brush Tool Available on Block Diagram

[THX108]

I did a quick search on this and didn't find anything related. Make the paint brush tool a possible selection when CYCLING through the tools. Most people know you can hold shift and right click to bring up the tools palette but that requires you to move the mouse and click to choose the paint brush. The same people probably know that by pressing the tab key you can cycle through the tools (if automatic tool selection is unlocked). I know I'm getting kind of picky, but I prefer to do any action possible with the keyboard instead of the mouse (within the left side of the keyboard anyways).

To take it one step further, you could select which tools are cycled through in both the front panel and block diagram sections of the options screen.

I don't think this idea would get much use.  Using the paint brush is not something that gets used very often on the BD.  Occasionally, I'll use it if I want to make the background of a comment a bright red (but still have readable text) if I want to draw my attention to a comment that is "FIX THIS" or something I need to really closely at later.

I use the paint brush to color all of my comments, but I always use auto-select and shift right click to switch tools.  Never heard of this cycling thing.

I too actually have thought for quite some time that it would be nice if the paint brush came up without having to click on the tools pallette. I do a lot of comments and some are color coded to "circled numbers" in the diagram. This is because, as a contractor, I expect that someone else will have to come along later to support the code when I have packed up my tent and moved on to the next oasis.

i think the tabbing order can be a user defined one and entirely depend on ones usage. I will kudo this.

Enabling autoselect and using shift-right-click to get the tools palette if I need colors is all I ever use.

Color use on the BD is too exotic to be in constant need. (else we end up with code like this) 😄
