More Stroke Modes

Currently, there are 4 Stroke Modes in Blender: Regular, Invert, Smooth and Erase.

If there were more Stroke Modes, we would be able to easily add shortcuts for them:

  • ‘Mask’ = Alt Left Mouse
  • ‘Mask Invert’ = Alt Ctrl Left Mouse
  • ‘Mask Smooth’ = Alt Shift Left Mouse

These shortcuts would make the mask workflow easier, and Blender would be more intuitive for users coming from ZBrush.

Couldn't append the PRs to the proposal. From the Release Notes :
Sculpt mode now supports temporarily toggling to the Mask essential asset, bound to Alt-Left Click by default. Additionally, users can temporarily toggle mask erasing with Ctrl-Alt-Left Click ( 57871a5727 , 3ebdbb1dde ).
