naqoy Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hi, On a German keyboard, the default keys for changing brush size are not usable; keys '[' and ']' must be entered by pressing Alt+5 and Alt+6. Therefore, I redefined the keys to use '<' and '>' instead which works fine, but only for brushes. I cannot use them to resize the tool size in the liquify perspective nor for brush overlays in the HDR perspective. I think they should work everywhere where I want to increase and decrease a tool size while working. Furthermore in the preferences dialog, I think, the setting should not be placed under paint brush but in a more common (generic) category.

brunzenstein Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I sign that statement.

Can we have the possibility to change brush size with the mouse wheel? Maybe in conjunction with modifiers? Macoun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macoun Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 +1 Me too. I've set the resize of the brush on the Ö and Ä. But it doesn't work with all tools. brunzenstein 1 Quote I don't use Photoshop and never used Illustrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Werner Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Agreed, this has been an issue in Photoshop for years. Ideally, these keys would be bound to the keyboard layout so that even when you're changing between different keyboard layouts a lot while the application is running (like say, German, US English and Japanese), these types of shortcuts will still function reasonably well and not suddenly become impossible to press.

rhermans Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Would have bumped this issue, but just found that AltGr (or) Alt and pushing both mouse buttons is the modifier I was searching for. I missed this in tutorial movies, and now after checking them again found it in the remarks below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
