**Assignable hotkeys for custom brushes / UI buttons**

Hi,

Finally, I bought Nomad now it’s on PC too, thank you very much for your work!

On the PC version the Toolbox bindings list only exposes the built-in tools (Clay, Brush, Move, etc.). Custom brushes I’ve made and ordered in the toolbox don’t appear in that list, so there’s currently no way to bind a keyboard shortcut to them.

What I’d like:

  1. Bind a key directly to a custom brush. Let any brush from the toolbox (including custom presets) be selectable in the Bindings list, not just the built-in tools.

  2. Or, bindable tool slots. Define a set of slots (e.g. Slot 1–10) that can each hold any brush — built-in or custom. I assign a hotkey to the slot, then drop whatever brush I want into it. This would also cover the UI-button case: a slot could be exposed as a shelf/bottom-bar button.

Right now the ••• menu on a binding only controls Sticky keys / Toggle behaviour — there’s no option to change which brush the slot points to, and custom brushes never show up as bindable targets.

This has been requested a few times already. It would be a big workflow improvement for anyone using a keyboard with Nomad on PC. Thanks!

It’s there, “preset” in the binding menu. Or scroll down.

Brilliant! thank you very much! I’ve been fiddling with the app for half the day today — it’s a forgotten sense of pleasure from sculpting). One more question: have you thought about supporting the menu on PC?
