Mapping Brushes to Hotkeys

Hello guys
I couldn’t locate existing threads with this subject so I’m writing one my self. If there are threads with this topic, please point 'em out.

I’d like to know whether there is an option/script to map particular brush to a key on a keyboard or a tablet button.
If there is not, that would be very useful option in future. To be able to assign key to a brush.
It could improve my workflow speed quite a bit in some instances where I have to use two brushes intermittently.
For example, I’m sculpting scales on a dragon. I use clay or track brush to sculpt scales. Then I use Trim Dynamic or some other brush to tweak or smooth out some scales.
Each time I have to reach out on my palette and click the brush.
Would be way better if I could either assign that secondary brush to the Zsub option, or better yet, activate it with a press of a button on my pen or my tablet.
This way I dont have to move my pen from the focus area and dont have to pause my sculpting for having to move my pen and click brush icon on the side of the screen. It is an action that takes second or two but when you do it 500 times or 1000 times a day it becomes much more.

Anyways. Would appreciate feedback on that, and maybe opinion from Pixologic guys.

It’s easiest to click on the brush you want first, so that it is then in the Brush palette and it is easier to assign the hotkey you want.

Awesome! This will do the trick. Thanks Marcus.
