When healing brush or patch tool is active, allow keyboard input to change diffusion.

When using the healing brush or patch tool it creates workflow friction to have to change the diffusion by having to select it in the option bar and drag the slider or select the number. 

This could be alleviated by changing the keyboard number pad behavior in these instances from master opacity change to diffusion.

 

This would bring the healing brush more in line with its siblings and cousins (clone tool, brush, history brush) where keypad input changes the parameters of the tool rather than the master opacity while the tool is active.

Master opacity change is rarely needed in this instance and is often the source of accidental input that is potentially destructive and not noticed until later. 


This seems like a change had it been implemeted from the start would never have been questioned. I think no one is clamoring for the healing brush to be the only brush tool where master opacity remains accessible in the keypad.
