Brush shortcut keys. Do they exist? <Beginner>

Hey everyone,

I am new to Adobe Photoshop and was wondering if there was a way to assign shortcut keybinds to particular brushes that I use, for instance, like a large sized eraser for when I'm doing warmup exercises before drawing for the day, or even for my favorite sketching brush or inking brush.

I tried using the Photoshop Help button but couldn't find what I needed. So I figured I would ask all of you.

Thanks so much!

I use the bracket keys a lot to change brush size. [ = smaller ] = bigger.

The generic keboard shortcut B brings up the brush tool. I don't know a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to a specific brush. You could, however, record a couple of actions, each to select a specific brush then assign function keys to the actions
