Bug reports  
Hello  
Version 1.94 premium  
When i select keybind ‘shift’ for camera translation but also have smooth set to ‘shift’, every time i try to translate while not over an object, it switches to the select brush even though the select brush shortcut is disabled.

device is samsung tab s9 plus SM-X816B  
One ui 6.1.1  
android version 14

I want to be able to translate but also smooth when i’m on the object.  
here’s a video, i hope it’s visible when i am holding shift 😃

It’s not a bug.  
Mask and smooth have secondary trigger when used on background.

is there a way to make the smooth shortcut not switch to select on viewport?

Not for now.

You can only disable for Hide/Mask (gesture menu).  
But:

- it’s missing smooth
- it’s not obvious that it impacts bindings as well

I think I should add a special toggle in the mask/hide/smooth bindings instead.

~~Hi, any update on this feature? I feel this a bit annoying in desktop version too. I’m constantly deselecting my sculpt object due to smoothing 😔~~

Edit: It’s already implemented, thank you for pointing out the setting!

Go in bindings menu and in the smooth shortcut open the sub menu “…” there’s an option to disable the Select tool.

As for long press → select, it’s in the gesture menu.
