**The problem that this feature will solve:**

_me having to click the ellipsis button to see extra tools every time i want to replace face_

**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:**

a quick shortcut assigned to this tool because i use it so frequently - maybe **R** if it isnt being used

**What can’t you achieve without this feature?**

_its a workflow blocker and slows me down, yes._

**Replace Face** is one of my favorite tools and I use it frequently. I rarely go to the Tools list to select it first. I usually select the source face followed by the destination face, then I select Replace Face from the tools list as it is made visible. BTW, I’m on an iPad Pro.

I use R as the shortcut to do Replace Face on a Mac. I don’t think it was set this way though. I just went settings →Keboard Shortcuts (Customize Button) →Tools→Replace Face and set it to R.

You can do this on the iPad with a keyboard as well. I assume it’s possible under Windows too.

To make this faster I wish Shapr would make the last selected face the default face to snap to snap to instead of whatever it does now. I almost always have to select the faces, press R and then reselect the snap to face.
