Why was this removed? It was present in 3.1 .
Is there some workflow I’m not aware of that is superior to this. Its nice to have the precision with the shift-smooth by using the lazy brush.
thanks

Do you mean the LazyMouse stroke setting? Stroke settings are set on a brush-by-brush basis. So for your secondary/shift brush simply hold shift and turn on LazyMouse.
But I guess that was not what you meant as I have never been able to use the LazyMouse setting with the secondary brush in 3.1. However in 3.5R3 it works just fine.
Oh i see. Okay so you have to hold down the shift. Go up to the stroke tab, click on lazy brush. Right. A bit awkward. Seems you can’t hold down shift and lazy shortcut key “L” at the same time.
Better than nothing. In 3.1 the secondary smooth brush would inherit the lazy brush setting you had on the primary brush. Workflow wise. I’d prefer this, then jumping into some tab and clicking another button.
And before you could actually assign a shortcut key to have the smooth brush be a primary brush. Now you get this warning text “This brush is a Mesh Sculpting smooth brush. Press the shift key while sculpting to use it”
So in 3.1 you could press short cut key “L” for lazy stroke, then for example shortcut key “0” for smooth brush (i had 1-0 assigned to brushes I used most often). Less key strokes and menu operations. Less direct interface with the UI and more focusing on sculpting.
Now you are suggesting I have to choose a brush, press shift, then go into the stroke tab and click on lazymouse. That’s more key strokes/menu jumping. If shift+L were functional this would be fine. Something to look into.

I agree about the workflow change not being very beneficial. I enjoyed being able to use any brush as the primary brush in 3.1, but I guess there is a reason behind the madness 
I wrote a tiny zplugin to enable/disable the LazyMouse setting for both the primary and secondary brushes. If you assign a hotkey to the zplugin button you can work as you did before, except you still have to hold SHIFT to use any of the secondary brushes.
Extract the .zip file to the …/ZStartup/ZPlugs folder which is located where you installed ZBrush 3.5R3. Restart ZBrush and you will find a “Lazy Mouse on/off” button in the ZPlugin > Misc Utilities subpalette. Assign a hotkey and you are good to go.
I would advise against assigning a hotkey with a modifier key, such as SHIFT + L. The modifier keys (CTRL, SHIFT, ALT) need to be released before you can use them again with the hotkey. This is only an issue (big issue) with zplugin generated interface items.
right on
