Normal Editor Feedback
Hi there! First, thanks a lot for this great software.
I found it really nice to tweak normals with ".obj-brushes"
and see directly the result on the model.
I have only one enhancement request about the navigation
in the "Normal Editor".
It would speed-up the work process to have the translate tool (quite similar to the Photoshop hand tool) mapped on the space-bar or being able to define short-keys for each tools. While using normal brush, pressing space bar would allow to use translate tool to navigate more quickly in the map;
after a zoom-in the texture to add little details, and for example when drawing a curve, you often need to slide the picture to go on drawing on an area outside the frame. At this time, always have to go up to the tools icons to switch between "Translate tool" and "Normal Brush" is a bit time consuming and breaks the user brush move.
I know this is only a request about "comfort" and not functionality.
If you think it's a good idea and that you have time to incorporate it in another version of the soft, that would be great.
Thanks!

Hi Garagarape, thanks for the suggestion.
All tools in the next release will be selectable using Ctrl + 1..2..etc
The n-editor tools will have these additional shortcuts:
Translate Tool (T)
NBrush Tool (N)
VBrush Tool (V)
Picker Tool (P)
Thanks a lot! I'll go on exploring Shader Map. Good luck for the developement.
