Brush Dropdown: Can it appear from the Left Instead of Right?

[Alex_R84]

Hello,

Recently got a cintiq. As I am right handed, when i open the Brush menu using a pen button, it opens rightwards, which is directly under my hand.

Is there any way, or a script, to make the menu pop out to the left?

@Alex_R84 am right-handed too...but it doesn't bother me.... The menu is designed to open away from the cursor, so for a right-handed user drawing on the right side of the screen, it usually opens rightward, directly under the hand. Maybe re-assign the button to a different shortcut?

Could you make use of the Brushes panel instead of the right click brush menu?  You could toggle it on and off with F5, or assign a different shortcut that was nearer to hand.  It doesn't have quite as much functionality as the right click menu, but you can adjust hardness with the mouse or pen, and adjust angle with the cursor keys (15° with each click if you hold down Shift).
