How do I save a Brush with a specific Blending mode?

I'm looking for a way to quickly swap (using the < / > hotkeys) between a brush that darkens the illustration (with Multiply blending mode), and a brush that lightens an area (with Screen, or Soft light blending mode).

When I save a brush I can bake in what color it automatically paints with, but can't find where I can save a specific blending mode to my new brush.

Where is this option?

Correct answer c.pfaffenbichler

If you save a Brush with »Include Tool Settings« checked then the Blend Mode is included (like Opacity etc.). 

I use a non-english keyboard so could you please state the exact shortcut you are referring to (as listed under Edite > Keyboard Shortcuts)?

When I save it as a "New Brush" with "Include Tool Settings" checked, it still doesn't include the Brush mode. 

When I want to work fast, cycle through brushes using the "</," key to select previous brush, and ">/." to select the next brush in the brush panel.

I've learned that if I save a new brush as a new Tool Preset instead of a new Brush, it does include the Blending mode, but then I can't cycle with the < / > keys

... Correction - Blending Mode, not "brush mode"
