Is there a shortcut to brush size/hardness, without manually adjusting it via the 'width' slider? In PS, (on Windows), it's Alt + Right Mouse -drag left right to decrease/ increase brush size and up/down decrease/ increase brush hardness.

 

Thanks, much appreciated! :)

For the Mac versions of Affinity, Control + Alt dragging works just like for PS to change brush size & hardness. As I understand it, there is a similar feature in the Affinity Windows versions, but I am not sure which modifier keys those versions use for this.

For windows that is ALT plus left and right mouse button, 

I have not used a Windows computer for many years & when I last did, it had a special purpose keyboard, so I do not know much about current Windows stuff at all. That said, as I understand it, some Windows keyboards have a 'special' second control key that functions differently from the normal left-side one. Is that correct & if so, can it be used for any of the more awkward clicks like this one?

It works wth the left ALT and the right ALT Gr

 

The only time i use the ALT Gr is for the € sign

 

The Alt Gr key, at least on a UK keyboard, is equivalent to Ctrl+Alt. In addition to the € sign (which I rarely need since I'm not in the Eurozone) I occasionally use Alt Gr for vowels with acute accents.

I wish they would make better use of the scroll wheel. Or is it because the BigA doesn't have them?

??? If You mean Apple's Macs, the Mac OS has supported scroll wheels for decades & Apple's mice come with a scroll function. I use a Kensington trackball with a scroll ring, which both my iMac & the Affinity apps support.
