Is there a way to make a keyboard shortcut to make any last selected/last used tool "sticky"? So it can be recalled instantly no matter what tool it was?

kind of like in ACAD how the space bar works..

Would be nice because sometimes I need to use some random obscure tool that I can't always easily find.

You can add them to the mouse right click. I do this for view the plane and flip view.

whooops! I accidentally edited my response and deleted what I originally wrote.

Nevertheless, thank you –– I did not realize that the right-click could be made into a shortcut! And now I do! :D

Ha ha, yeah quite neat, ends up like the last used functions in autocad. I still think when you select things you use, then it automatically goes back to select. The amount of times I forget and have waited for something to load or convert and then I select it again as the last used tool stays until you deselect it!
