V2.1.1 key shortcuts don't work proper

[design punch]

Hi,

(This is the first test on V2(1.1.), I haven't tested any older V2 version!), Win 10, Wacom tablet

On V 1 I used key shortcuts on all brushes and everywhere - width/size: increase/decrease - alt+2/alt+1
On  V 2(1.1) it's impossible. Some work, some don't.
Example:

Photo persona (on Publisher)
Paint brush [B]: alt+2/alt+1 doesn't work, str(ctrl)+2/str+1 does work
Selection brush [W]: str+2/str+1 doesn't work, alt+2/alt+1 does work

etc. (everywhere) on all 3 programs ...

After reset to original brackets: doesn't work either (but I think this is an old problem on Germany keyboard layout, that's why I use alt+1,+2 all the time on V1, which is a convenient way of use)

What to do?

Thanks for a solution!

Hi @design punch, 

There is a currently logged issue in regards to the default bracket keys to resize brushes not working on German keyboards, as ALTGR + 8/9 does not invoke the bracket key shortcut when it should be, however I've just tested the ALT modifier key with 1/2 to increase/decrease brush width on a standard English keyboard and this also doesn't appear to work any longer while it is working in V1, so I'll be logging this with the developers, other modifier keys such as CTRL + 1/2 to increase the brush size are working as expected.

Edit: Just tested the ALT modifier key to re-size the brush in v2.0.4 and it is working as expected, so it looks like this is a regression between 2.0.4 and 2.1.
