Thank you, Jeremy, for your detailed answer.  I'm going to use that to submit a feature request to customize this shortcut.  If others have similar stories, please, chime in, as user stories help us rank the importance of various issues.

Thanks,

bingo! that's the primary issue here... brush size changing with a wacom on pc is a nightmare to set up. And the shortcuts should also be consistent between the two platforms for those users who have to switch back and forth for their jobs.

David,

I am a professional retoucher who has spent my entire career on a mac. I am now also using a pc because I have added 3d rendering to my skillset, and wanted to take advantage of Redshift renderer. I use a wacom tablet and the control+option then drag on a mac to change the size/hardness with a pen, was so quick and efficient. On a pc the alt+right click then drag, is very cumbersome while using a pen. I constantly spin the wacom pen in my hand and thus change the position of the two buttons on the wacom pen. Having to spin and find the buttons to use this shortcut is very frustrating and slow. Being able to change this shortcut to something like ctrl+alt and then drag with the pen would be huge for speeding up my workflow. With how often I use this shortcut on a mac across various tools, not being able to change this possibly means strictly retouching professionally only on my mac. 

Hope this helps and makes sense as to the importance of being able to change this shortcut for my workflow! Thanks!

Hi JEA,

I actually agree with you.  Could you share how this impacts your workflow, so folks unfamiliar with non-US-centric expectations can relate?  I believe this is an issue of perception.

As for using Apple's method, yeah, for a huge product like Photoshop, that's neither easy nor a good idea.

Thanks,
David

p.s. -- this already has a feature request -- I'm soliciting more arguments for the importance of this effort...!

All the keyboard shortcuts in photoshop should be user customizable.

A big reason is an awful lot of the default "unchangeable" keyboard shortcuts do not work on any keyboard other than US English keyboards.

A big help, at least on the mac side, would be to allow the photoshop keyboard shortcuts to be changed/added using Apple>System Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts. Adobe Bridge allows this, but why not photoshop?

Alt left click is good for picking colour as always. I would suggest alt+ctrl+ left click for changing brush size and hardness. thanks

Howdy Elizabeth and Sean,

I can ask, but I believe that would be an architectural change, requiring some non-trivial work.  It would be helpful to have some user testimonials about how such a change would (positively) impact their workflow.

Thanks,
David
