How I get rid of fiction "3"

[srg]

When I press number 3 while working with a brush  I get a rotation of the Opacity from 30 to 100. I could not find a way to get rid of this function. Any help?

I don't think there is a way to disable this function, if you press 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 respectively you'll get that opacity percent, so 8 = 80% opacity. 

[R C-R]

Also, if you press 4 immediately followed by pressing 5 you get 45%, 5 followed by 1 you get 51%, & so on.  (You also can get 0% by pressing 0 twice in rapid succession.) This makes it possible to set any 1% opacity increment from the keyboard, but it also means this 'double-press' functionality has to be wired into the app because no normal keyboard shortcut considers the interval between key presses.

BTW, there have been a few requests to be able to disable this feature but so far it has not been implemented.

Just to make sure: What you've described seems backward. Typing a 3 while the Brush Tool is selected should change the Brush's opacity from whatever it is to 30. Not from 30 to something else.

First movie is in V2 Beta second in V2. In both cases there is a delay because I click many times before it goes to 30 to 100 to 33 etc.

@walt.farrell, it appears to be a bit buggy, press 3 with the brush tool active and you get 30, press a few more times and it will switch to 33 or 100 then back to 30, same behaviour for the other numbers.

Press it twice, quickly enough, and it's 33 as it's supposed to.

Logically, pressing it three times would try to give a 333% opacity, but as 100% is the maximum, perhaps it gives 100 instead.

thank you but I just want to get rid of that function...

That's what I get in V2 on my Mac. So using only the 3 key it never toggles between 30 & 100 with a single keypress, but with multiple presses I can get 30, 33, or 100% depending on the delay between each press.

I am not sure this is a bug as it seems handy to be able to go back to 100% with 3 quick presses...

Why? If you don't want it to happen, don't press a digit key multiple times.

I want to be pressing the number 3 not effective at all. I do not like shortcut and I use only enlarge and make it small with number 1 and 2 so 3 is easy, at least for me, to be pushed. I am not a typist and I do not intend to become one.

[walt.farrell]

What do you mean by "enlarge and make it small"? 

1 and 2 don't change size. They set 10% and 20% opacity.

Of course I change those settings to what I liked

What specifically do you mean by making (something?) large or small, by how much, & does that actually work?

I think I get it now, you want to assign or have assigned the brush sizing to number key 1 and number key 2 instead of the square brackets [ and ] but wish to disable or set the number key 3 to null to avoid accidental hitting of number 3 which then switches the brush to 30% opacity, I can see how that would be annoying, especially if it went unnoticed for a while, unfortunately you cannot set the rest of the number keys to null or disabled.  

You can override the Number keys to do something else, you will get a warning about the numbers being used for opacity but assigning the number keys to another option will override the opacity designation. 

I would recommend making a suggestion in the feedback forum, see the link in my sig below.
