Interesting UI option I only just noticed

Hi @Aliks, a shortcut key would not be useful here because there is a much better way. If you are using a drawn mask in one module it can be used in any other module that comes after it. I do this all the time. However, the feather and blur adjustments do not get carried over, but that is no big deal. Hopefully the user manual has more details on this, but I will post some information below that I give to my students. If the mask is parametric you would need to turn that into a raster mask. Selecting raster mask allows you to use a drawm/parametric mask create in another module instance to use in the current module being adjusted. Also read about the mask manager module in the user guide. I don’t use the mask manager often but I know it is there if I need it.

Drawn masks

• The number of shapes that are used in the current mask is displayed in the “drawn mask” field.
• Clicking on that field opens a dropdown box with all shapes that have already been defined in the context of the current image but are not yet used in the current mask. You can click on any of these items in order to add it to the current mask. The list also contains shapes once generated but no longer in use. This way you can even get back a deleted shape.
• A polarity button allows the user to invert the drawn mask
