Switch back and forth between tools

I'd like to see a keyboard shortcut that could switch instantly between the current tool and the last tool used. For example, between the paintbrush and the smudging tool or any other choice, but then return immediately to the paintbrush when the key was pressed again. I suppose a work-around would be to re-program two keys that lie close together for the tools one wanted to use, but my idea would simply recall the last tool used and call it up when the key was pressed. At that point the new "last tool used" would be the one that was just replaced. Anyone else favor this idea?

I'm in support.

I think this is discussed here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=373060

...some activity ~10 months ago... maybe someone will find some time to look at it. Looks like just some quick cleanup work on the proposed patch is needed?
