Hi guys
I keep trying to use the shortcut to change the Pixel brush size on Windows (10) with a Wacom (Intuos 5) tablet and pen on Affinity Designer 1.6.5.135 but can't make it work...
I defined one of the pen button to be the right clic. And try to use the Alt-Right-Click+Click (to mimic Alt-LMB-RMB) but I keep activating the Color Picker... My sanity would gladly appreciate any help...
EDIT with solution:
The trick was to NOT define a Right Click on the Pen button but to assign the button with a keyboard modifier (Right Click modifier)!
By setting the button to Keyboard/Modificator/Right Click it WORKS!
I put a picture. It's in french but the idea is there.
Once done the shortcut works.
Can't stop finding this hack unnecessary, dumb, and frustrating...
Hope that helps

Hi there
I keep trying to use ANY of the shortcuts combinations you mentionned on Windows with a Wacom tablet and Pen but keep getting the color picker and nothing changes on the size or hardness side... I'm lost and kind of frustrated. I'm almost ready to buy again the photo pack of Adobe with Photoshop...
Help would be much appreciated. I'm on Affinity Designer 1.6.5.135 on Windows 10 with the latest Wacom driver and an Intuos 5 USB.
The Alt-LMB-RMB+drag combination works. But I can't find a way to replicate this behaviour with the pen. Even while defining a Right Click on the Pen in the Wacom preferences.

Thank you in advance!
EDIT with solution:
Found how to make it work.
I don't know if it's an issue on the Wacom or Affinity side. But this is truly dumb.
So. If I define a Right Click on the Pen button through the Wacom preferences with Click/Right Click...it doesn't work.
But if I define the same button with Keyboard/Modificator/Right Click it WORKS!
You'd think it's the same thing. But no. Just lost 2h before I figured it.
I put a picture. It's in french but the idea is there.
Once done the shortcut works.
Hope that helps

I'm trying...For real. I keep getting the Color Picker but nothing else. Drives me nuts...
Is there a specific option/thing to activate/deactivate on the Windows/Wacom side?
Thank you

Hi Wiredframe,
The Windows shortcut is different: press and hold ALT + right mouse button + left mouse button + drag horizontally to change brush size and vertically to change brush hardness.

None of these shortcuts work in the Windows Version of AD, neither in the Draw nor in the Pixel Persona. Am I missing something?
