Definitely. I agree that some comping stuff would be cool.
This might sound like crazy talk, but given the current implementation what you could do is this:
1) Make sure you're set to the Mute tool and not the Erase tool in the Control Module
2) Switch to the Smart Tool since you'll probably be using that most
3) On your computer keyboard hold down the
F10 key and then hold the
CTRL key at the same time. Make sure you're holding them.
4) Make your edit
5) Release the
F10 key and
CTRL key.
When you hold keys like this for switching tools, they'll revert to the previous tool upon the upstroke of the key. So pressing the key switches to that tool indefinitely, but holding and then releasing the key switches to it temporarily. Snap and Snap Override work the same way with the
N key... it's pretty cool if you're just going to a tool for a single edit.
