That's the goal :)

The "smudge + airbrush" was the idea behind the color source of the "dynamic 
brush", the color source is not available in 2.1, but I hope to make it back 
in 2.2 (at least for the brush op).

Yes that's a problem, we can't associate Q/KAction to tools since then that 
means you can't type a text in a text shape (if you have single letters 
associated to tool). So we would need a way to insert the tools in the 
shortcuts editor (this probably needs change in KShortcutsDialog).
