Unify how brush tools can change and/or select brush size, feather, presets…

EVERY tool that uses brushes should get the "right click" quick/hover menu like the original "brush tool". This would definitely speed up workflows and optimize UX!

Current state: In order to e.g. change brush size, you have to, depending on the tool, use different ways to select and edit size, feather etc. And lots of these only work in the menu bar. This is not only annoying but tedious to use.

Instead every tool should have a similar quick/hover menu when right clicking the canvas like the brush tool does. Of course it needs to be tool agnostic to adapt and only show whatever changes are possible for brushes with the active tool. So it always shows size, but depending on the tool also tip shape, feather, all or only certain presets. etc.
And why stop there? Add transparency, flow, etc to the quick menu as well. Even if these are only toggleable extensions so the menu can be as wide or long as the user likes,
