System Information
Operating system: windows 7

Blender Version
Broken: 2.80 3d8cbb534f

Short description of error
While drawing, ctrl key switches to the eraser. This is convenient.
The eraser it switches to is the default brush eraser, and not the one set up when using the eraser tool. This is not convenient.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Change brush in eraser tool, then use brush as ctrl shortcut while using the pencil tool.

Not really a bug I suppose, but it does seem wrong. @antoniov ?

Yes, it's not a bug, but we could change how works today. There is a problem here, @ideasman42 redesign how the current brush is used with Paint mode and I don't really fully understand how it's working.

@ideasman42 Could you take a look at gp_get_default_eraser() function to see if you can get in this function the current Eraser brush assigned to the tool and not the default? is this possible with the current Toolsystem? ideas?

Maybe one solution would be remove from interface the "default" eraser toggle button and set internally to the last used eraser. In this way always will use the last used eraser.

I have removed the default flag from UI, and now all it's internal. It was a easy fix and we don't need change anything in tool system or brush management. Really, to have a external flag to decide default eraser was a little weird.

If this change solves the problem, we can close the task.
