Which shortcut do I use to accomplish this? (SOLVED)

I was watching a jewelry retouching video wherein the designer made a selection, switched to the brush tool, used the eyedropper to select a color and then used a shortcut to fill in the selected area with that color. This can be accomplished using the paint bucket of course, but is there a shortcut to accomplish this?

EDIT: I found the answer. Alt+Backspace to fill in using the foreground color and Control+Backspace to fill in using the background color.

On a Windows machine:

Alt + DELETE fills a marquee with the foreground colour.
CTRL + DELETE fills a marquee with the background colour.
