As I have mentioned, this happens on a fresh install, no brush packs, no modifications. I am not looking to stack my keys at all. I pressed 'Redefine' on the prompt to set a specific key to one function only. My tools are assigned different keys. Yet somehow 3DCoat swaps back to another tool when the hotkey is pressed.

My 3D Coat version is 4.804 (DX64) How to replicate my issue. Fresh install. Press END to set a hotkey, B, for the Brush Tool. Press Redefine on prompt. Press END to set a hotkey, E, for the Eraser Tool. Press Redefine on prompt. Press E to select Eraser, and then B to select Brush tool. While Brush Tool is active, press B. For some reason this swaps me back to the Eraser Tool. This happens with every tool. (e.g If clone tool was my last used tool, then pressing B would swap me to it instead) I've tried this on different computers. My understanding here is that this isn't a bug but perhaps an overlooked consequence when sticky keys was introduced a few patches back.

Hi Javis. This happens without hotkey stacking. During that prompt, I chose "Redefine" hotkey, which I assume assigns that key to do only that function. In the scenario I described, both my Brush Tool and Eraser Tool are assigned different hotkeys too, so I see no reason why pressing the hotkey again while the tool is active, cycles me to ANY previous tool. This is the behavior I'd like to disable.

I've recently picked up 3D-Coat again and found it annoying that pressing a hotkey for a tool that is already active, switches it back to the previous tool. Generally, when I assign a hotkey to a certain tool I would not expect it to swap me to another tool at any point of time. A lot of times I would press my Brush Tool hotkey (Even if it is already active) only find out that it swapped to my Eraser Tool because that was the previous active tool. Is this behavior something I can disable currently? I recall this was not a problem in older versions of 3D-Coat.
