Shortcut for Changing Opacity?

Contributor ,
Mar 01, 2017 Mar 01, 2017

I just discovered the Ctrl+Alt+Mouse1 shortcut where you can hold those three and move the mouse up and down to change brush hardness and left and right to change the brush size. I also see that opacity is in that menu right there. Is there a way to change opacity rapidly like that instead of having to type a new value every time at the top of the screen? I'm using a wacom intuos, but it should work the same as a mouse. Thanks in advance!

You can control the opacity by typing the number on your keyboard:

1=10%

2=20%

...

If you quickly press 1 and 2 = 12%

This changes my flow, not my opacity. Any other suggestions?

^ To change Flow hold SHIFT + 1234567890
This should be the default setting.

Hopefully this helps (I'm working on Windows)...
If 'Airbrush-style build-up effects' is enabled (the icon that looks like an airbrush), the number keys alter the flow, if it isn't enabled it will alter the opacity. 

- When you select some brushes, they'll switch the Airbrush' back on as default. I've noticed some of Kyles brushes do this (you can probably alter this in the brush settings and save a new brush preset to avoid ongoing confusion). 
Best wishes, 
Joe
