How to use Decal Brush

The Epic blueprint scriptable tools framework only allows for the use of the mouse Left Click and the following modifiers: Ctrl, Shift and Alt. As a result, all of the hotkeys are limited to a combination of these buttons. If you dislike hotkeys, a bool toggleable version is planned in a future release. The hotkeys are also visible on the bottom display bar:

Alternatively you can use Pick Material mode to replace your current material. Simply press Alt to toggle on the mode, and click on any decal in the viewport.
