  1. Pressing <Alt> acts as a colour picker.
  2. Pressing <Alt> + <Ctrl> allows you to
    1. adjust the width (left & Right movement)
    2. and hardness (up & down Movement) < this is so wrong hahaha xD

With the brush tool selected to change the opacity just type the opacity percent you want so if you wanted 50% just press the 5 and the 0 there are no modifier keys to press literally just type 50 and the opacity will change.

If you want a two digit brush opacity % that ends in zero (like 10%, 20%, 50%, etc.) you do not need to tap the zero key (so just tap the 1, 2, 5, etc. number key). To enter ones that do not end in zero, tap the first & second number keys in quick succession. (You have to press them in quick succession to prevent the second tap as being interpreted as a different two digit one ending in zero.)

To set 100%, just tap the zero key.

The same thing works for setting the opacity of a layer when the Move, Node, Pen, or any other tool that does not have an opacity setting in its context toolbar is selected & the layer is selected in the Layers panel.

What about Brush Flow?
An equally important and often needed setting. In Photoshop one sets the opacity using the scheme from your quote, and does the same thing with Shift held down for Flow. Seems not to work inside Affinity so far.

is there any way to get brush opacity and size get work like in photoshop?

What you describe is setting the Size and Falloff in Photoshop. Works beautifully.

Nope, you have to use the mouse/sliders/brush-window for deeper edit!

There is NO way for fast direction flip, no way for hold "size/opacity..." for all brushes independet ist own settings, but if you set "wet corners" for One brush, THIS will take for all brushes...

Adjustments in the brush-panel will OVERWRITE that brush without asking and so on.

But you can set special oppacity with 2time-it of eg. 4 to 4 or with 3-time hit to 444 = 100. 

Its a version one, all is working fine, but lot of comfort is missing, eg. better views for the brushes (if you want just one-click-textures...) or the possibility to reorganize the categorizes, batch move.... flip/flop...take a size temporially....

Nah, too far away :o)
Seems that Flow should be rather simple to add, as the whole number based limbo is already in place for opacity.
Now another event had to get supported, using the exact same system, just with an additional modifier-key pressed and every Photoshop convert was a lot happier.
