Separate edit mode and sculpt don’t look so great in my opinion. Can I recall (trough script or assign a new shortcut) some brush into edit mode?
You can always use proportional edit if you want to quickly reshape/move parts of your model.
thanks for your reply. Yes, can be a solution, but not for all. I.E. a smooth brush can be very useful in edit mode.
as a work around try selecting the verts you want to smooth
then ctrl+v and smooth vertex
can change the iterations on T panel (bottom)
