How to increase/decrease brush size on German keyboard?

[mr.burns]

Hi,

I am very new to Affinity photo and try to learn some important short cuts. I use Affinity photo on my iMac with El Capitan.

I saw in a video that the squared brackets are used to increase/decrease the size of any brush.

On a German keyboard these brackets reside on the key 8 and key 9 and are only accessable together with the shift key.

At the location where the squared brackets are on an english keyboard on a german keyboard there is the 'ü' and the '+'.

But if I hit either 'ü' or '+' the brush size does not change at all, I just got a dump sound.

So how to I increase/decrease brush size on a german keyboard?

 

Is there any mapping of shortcuts between english and german keyboard available?

 

Thanks!

Hi mr.burns,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

You can set a custom shortcut for this in Affinity Photo Preferences, Keyboard shortcuts: set the first dropdown to Photo and the second to Paint Brush Tool (or any other brush tool - all use the same shortcut) then enter the keys you want. You can also change the brush size and hardness of the brush on canvas pressing ⌃(ctrl) + ⌥ (option/alt) and dragging horizontally (changes size) or vertically (changes hardness).
