Paintbrush with eraser ability

To use the same brush to erase a stroke with a toggle shortcut (recursive). In MyPaint and Krita is possible to use recursively the two tools using only the key 'E'.

To make this in the current stable and devel releases we must follow this flow: . To share the paint options between tools . Change between the P or N key with Shift+E and again P or N (for instance)to follow painting/drawing.

The process that is possible is a bit unfriendly if I do a comparison with the flow with Krita/Photoshop and MyPaint. To have a toggle or recursive key to make this, it turns this action more easy and fast to execute. Imagine the users that are using a graphic tablet with GIMP... is necessary stops the action with paint tool to invoke the eraser, with Shift+E, and after again P or N (for instance) key to follow using the paint tools
