I really need a keyboard shortcut for brush fidelity in paintbrush tool options

[russexplains]

I use illustrator for all of my whiteboard style cartoon drawings. http://russlaw.co.uk

Illustrator has always worked well for me, as it allows multiple artboards and SVG export, and I can easily put my drawings into ToonBoon animation software which allows me to manipulate all of the lovely vectors for my animations.

BUT

I would love a keyboard shortcut for the brush fidelity. Can anyone tell me if one exists?

When I am drawing buildings and boxes I increase the smoothness setting, and then add more accuracy for more organic things. Sometimes I need to switch quickly between these. I did find the ENTER key which opens the paintbrush tool options panel and speeds things up a bit. 

Wondered if anyone else would find this useful?

Cheers

Russ

Russ, sounds like what might be super useful to you is something like Pallete Gear to map certain functions to. It can be super useful for adjusting things on the fly.  Palette Gear an Amazing Tool to Speed Up Your Workflow - YouTube

You can add your own kbsc: Customizing keyboard shortcuts in Illustrator

Example: Create a custom keyboard shortcut for Crop Image

1. Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
2. Choose Menu Commands.
3. Click Object > Crop Image.
4. Type a new shortcut. If the keyboard shortcut is already assigned to another command or tool in the set, an alert appears. ...
5. Enter a name for the saved keyset.
6. Click OK.

There's no shortcut to change it.

You can try to record an action and then add a keyboard shortcut for that action.
