This would allow a more visual / on the fly approach for users to see which paths they want flipped. I think a great approach would be to enable some sort of setting that allows a user to cmd click on all paths which require a brush to be flipped. When working on a more intricate design with dozens of paths, having no way to quickly change the direction of applied brushes is a huge waste of time. Yep, seems like common sense doesn't it? Not sure why there isn't the ability to adjust the direction of a brush on the fly by simply holding down a keyboard key.
