cross modal UI

At the moment it doesn't seem as if the number keys are mapped to anything in draw mode. Why not map them to the drawing tools instead of space+n?

How about mapping tools from different modes if you hold space + a mode number so you get cross model tools? Space would work exactly as it does now. If you hold space down and press '1' and let go, you could have the edit mode tools. space + 2 = sculpt tools, etc. If space + 3 mapped to draw tools, You could tap 3 again to cycle between draw tools, materials and maybe even layers. This would speed up selection enormously. space and then a number would work as it does now, this would only be for keeping space held down while pressing a number.
