Brush size in remove tool

Is there a quicker way to change the brush size of the remove tool in PS?
For all other tools right-click would open a window where the brush size can be adjusted. Am I missing something or does the remove toot not have this option?

The best option is to set the size reasonably large, and turn on Pressure Adjusts Size in the Options bar, but this is bviously only relevant if you are using a tablet.  The option is useful though, because unlike most Photoshop tools, the Remove tool does not allow us to use different presets.  Only adjust size in the Options bar.

 

If I did not have a tablet, I would use the Alt right click and drag sideways trick because you already have the mouse in your hand.

That is a good idea, I will try that. For now I started using Ctrl+Option key and drage the pen sideways to adjust the size.

Hi @spirospula left and right bracket keys [ ] increase and decrease the brush size on the fly.

Thanks Kevin. Yes, that works but I'm just so used to clicking on one of the buttons on my pen which brings up the brush adjustment window and I just do it there. No need to move my arm 🙂 I don't understand why they wouldnt include that for the remove tool.
