Keyboard shortcuts: customize brush tool size increments?

Hello community,

My work requires fine control over brush size (or stroke width), and I'm looking for a way to set the brush size or stroke width increments available on keyboard shortcuts to a very small distance without having to go into the menu. Is it possible to change the setting for brush size or stroke width increment, or am I stuck with 1 pt per keystroke?

With Stroke Width highlighted, hold down Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Win) and use up or down arrow keys for 0.1 increments

When I press [ or ], the diameter increments are 3pts. Is there any way to make the increments to 1pt only?

1 pt is the default, maybe reset your preferences?
