Affinity Designer: Redefine keyboard shortcuts for brush size

[Mabian]

Hello, very short question: on Italian keyboard the "[" and "]" keys don't work. And using the Ctrl-Alt-Drag gesture is not convenient for me. Is it possible to redefine them in Affinity Designer?

Thanks,

Hello, I already looked there, I just cannot find the items for changing brush size. They are there only for vector brush. Thanks

Hi @Mabian

If you go to Edit > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts, you can select the tool and persona from dropdown menus, then attach the shortcut to another key.

 
I hope this helps.

Thanks! And what about the Designer persona tools? Does "apply to all" option also extend to them?

This is also explained in the help.

This doesn't help that much actually, I go to redefine the brush size modifiers in pixel -> pixel tool context with "apply to all" checked.
No matter the key I choose it doesn't work in designer persona brushes, while ctrl-alt-drag left/right does.

FWIW, on my Mac I get weird results if I first go to Designer Persona & choose Vector Brush Tool & then switch to Pixel Persona. What happens is it still shows Vector Brush Tool & there is no option for Pixel Tool.

This has been reported before & I believe acknowledged as a bug, but I do not know if it applies to all versions, just the Mac one, or what.

Yes it must be a MAC bug, I don't get that in Windows. There's no Pixel Brush Tool under Designer, and no Vector Brush Tool under Pixel.

but does work here, so perhaps an email to Serif could help

On my Mac it doesn't happen every time I open Keyboard preferences in AD & switch to the Pixel Persona but I have not worked out the exact sequence of steps to trigger it.🤷‍♂️
