Gradient options in Tool Bar, allow displaying basic gradients within the tool bar.

I absolutely love the new gradient tool, being able to adjust the gradient after applying. I think my earliest experience in Adobe Photoshop is version 2. Long time. 

My single frustration is selecting the basic gradients,

  • foreground color to background color
  • foreground color to transparent
  • transparent to background color

Currently, I have to click the gradient, then reopen the “basic gradients” folder. I wish these 3 options, or even the first two were shown as default options in the tool bar. Having to open the folder adds more clicks when most everything else I do I know the key commands for. 

It is so rare I look for some fancier gradient from the libraries. There are a few awesome ones like spectrum that save a lot of time customizing. I use the basic gradients all day.
