Hello, is where any way to change brush size/hardness shortcut (CTRL + ATL + second mouse button drag) to something else? It is extremely uncomfortable while using a graphic tablet. Sadly can't find anything similar in Keyboard shortcut menu.

Can you not just use :

[   ]  to decrease/increase size

{  }  to decrease /increase brush hardness

In the older versions of Photoshop, it was possible to change the brush size by holding ctrl + alt together with holding your left mouse button and the move your mouse left to decrease and move your mouse right to increase?

Could anybody help please?

Just so it's on the table - you can make custom single key shortcuts for brush size and hardness.

 

Open Keyboard Shortcuts and go to the Tools tab. Scroll down a bit and they're there. I use N and M for hardness, comma and period for size, just because they're at the bottom of the keyboard and easy to get to.

The problem is, for right-handed people, this would move your Pen-Hand away from the Display/Tablet, disrupting the workflow.

You can assign whatever keys you choose. You might prefer keys on the left side of your keyboard.
