re-assign Tilde key-(Brush clear) to different key in Photoshop

I think the Tild key is one of the hard wired shortcuts, and can't be changed, but you can come at it from a different direction.

Make a tiny action that

    Selects the Brush tool

    Sets its blend mode to Clear (in the Options Bar)

Use one of the Function keys to trigger it.

Make a second action that selects the brush tool and sets its blend mode to Normal.  You'll need to use a different Function key for this as the above functions don't toggle with the same shortcut.

Alternatively, if you have a Gaming keyboard or mouse with additiional functiionality and programable G-keys

Set one to:

   Shift Alt R (clear)

   Shift Alt N (normal)

It's worth remembering that custom shortcuts, (along with custom Tool Bars and Menus) can be saved with custom workspaces.  This lets you reassign shortcuts according to context.  To make this work I have short actions that set and reset my custom workspaces, that are triggered by Function keys.

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
