Hello, the key "<" is currently assigned to decrease the tool hardness.
I desperately need to assign "decrease tool size" instead, but Photoshop tells me it is impossible - even if I delete the hardness shortcut. I did however assigned the ">" key to "increase tool size" without any problem.
I use an azerty keyboard and windows 11, any idea how to fix this ?
Thank you !
Hi @rapha�l_7881,
Thanks for confirming that. On an AZERTY keyboard, the “<” key is normally registered as a comma ( , ) unless you press Shift. To use it for brush size, you’ll need to press Shift + <.
If you’re already pressing Shift and it still doesn’t work, a third-party app, plugin, or even a background utility could be intercepting the shortcut. In that case, try testing Photoshop in Windows Safe Mode to see if the behavior changes.
If that doesn’t help, you may use Photoshop’s default shortcuts [ and ], it will let you decrease or increase brush size.
Best,

[UPDATE : SOLVED]
What I did :
1. Delete the current shortcut [<] "decrease brush hardness"
2. With AutoHotKey, I remapped the key [<] towards [:] with the following code :
#IfWinActive ahk_exe Photoshop.exe
SC056::Send :
#IfWinActive
Now it works : when I press [<] in Photoshop, it is remapped towards [:] which is the shortcut for "decrease brush size".
Thank you very much everybody - I just wished Photoshopped would stop hardwire shortcuts...
