P: Ability to modify brush blending mode shortcut

I want to be able to customize the keyboard shortcuts for switching blending modes while using the brush tool. I switch back and forth between Normal and Clear mode hundreds of times while drawing and using my non-drawing hand to press Shift+Opt+R and (especially) Shift+Opt+N are so awkward that it becomes frustrating. I'm aware I could use the eraser, but this method works best while using the custom brushes from the Tool Presets menu.

    Howdy Austin,

    I'm not quite following your request.  You want a shortcut to change the various blend modes of the Brush tool, such as Normal, Dissolve, Darken, Lighten, Overlay, Difference, Hue, etc, right?  Are you saying that there already is one (SHIFT+OPT+R or +N) for some of these?  Which version of Photoshop are you using?  One of the reasons I'm asking is cuz SHIFT+OPT+R should trigger Lens Correction and SHIFT+OPT+N should trigger New Layer.

    Thanks,
    David
