How do I cycle between brushes?

[Luckyzdaddy]

I've been an Adobe user for decades and am now sans Adobe and learning both Affinity Photo and Designer. I have 120 personal brushes that I create with and would like to cycle between them while working. Is there a key combination with which to move backwards and forwards in the brushes panel?

As far as I am aware there is no way to cycle through the brushes using keyboard strokes, selection is by mouse or stylus only.

Hi, along these lines, is there a shortcut for making the brush/eraser size larger or smaller (e.g. Adobe uses Ctrl+mouse wheel)?

I think it's "Ctrl+[" and "Ctrl+]" (without quotationmarks), like in many other apps. I customized it for me to "Ctrl+." and "Ctrl+," because this were the shortkeys for it as I learned Photoshop long time ago.

Edit: Sorry, made a mistake. You don't need the Ctrl-key. Only "[" and "]" or in my case "." and ",". My customized settings are much more friendly for my tiny  little hands. 😀

My personal tip for this "cycling through brushes"-problem. I created special brush categories for brushes I use for certain works. And I numbered them to have them on top of the brushes menu. My basic brushes are in category "0 - Basic Brushes".

By default, you can simply use the keyboard shortcuts [ or ] to adjust the size of the brush, if you're looking for a mouse/keyboard combination, please see the below video -

I hope this helps

Makes me bump this bug which still happens in v1.10.5 (March 2022), tagged as afp-3110 (Jan 2022) and aw-3891 (2020):

Thanks all, that's going to be very useful! The video won't play for me, by the way, but I've had a quick play and [ ] works a treat.
