When I hover over a pixel with the Eraser tool, I wish the Preview Window would show the effect in case I were to erase that pixel, just like it does before i paint a color with the Pencil.

It would really help with the pixel art process, since it’s sometimes more like solving a puzzle.

Super fast and easy to implement, I guess.

Hi there @Silva_Diablo, actually this is possible in the code just turning a flag on, I have to think if enabling this by default but it might be an option in _Edit \> Preferences \> Cursors \> Brush Preview = Full preview for all tools_ (?):
