Question

Custom shortcut for changing brush size?

Hey,

 

So I recently switched from an iMac to a Windows Pc and what absolutely annoys me, is the shortcut for changing the brush size...

I'm painting on a Wacom Cintiq and there you need to press Alt + the button on the pencil, which to me feels pretty unnatural, since I'm used to pressing command + alt on the mac. Felt much more intuitive.

 

I wonder if there's a way to assign the brush size to alt + strg or even better, alt + windows key?

 

Please tell me that should be possible... 

 

Thank you.

Does your cintiq have an Express Wheel or Touch Ring?  That's usually my go to method of adjusting brusg size.

Thank you both for the replies. However I do hate using the brackets, since they are "too far away" on the keyboard. I'm baffled at the fact that there seems to be no way to just make up my own hotkeys for that feature... So frustrating tbh. I just want to scale my brush size with the keys that I assigned.

What JJ said... use your bracket keys on your keyboard to change your brush size - to the right of the letter P - [ ]. You can also right click on your canvas when using your brush.
