Question

The alternate tool in the sequencer is way to easy to change accidentally, and not nearly as easy to change back, once you go to use it and are greeted with some other random tool in the toolbar. So I think instead of hitting the 1 key constantly to change it if we could hit ctrl and then the 1 key or perhaps control and then 1-9(depending on which tool we want as our alt) it would still be easy to change but much much more difficult to change unintentionally.

Answer 1

Agree 100%.

It's fair to expect that every time you press 1, you are back to your Main tool. But if you dare press 1 while you're already on your main tool, then you get punished by having your alternate tool changed!

It happens to me all the time and it's really annoying!

Answer 2

Definitely need this switching secondary tools with continually pressing 1 off. Either turn it off once and forever or any option to turn it off. Very annoying. Was searching for a solution and found only this one suggestion here, does everyone else love this?

Answer 3

MADDENING TO THE EXTREME, and I never use caps.  Second to this is the fact that on my PC, it's called the ALTernate tool, and it's tied to the CTRL key.  3 years in and I still can't remember to not be intuitive.
