I'm not sure I'm understanding this correctly, but in current GIMPs the actual size of a brush is controlled through the Tool Options of the active painting tool - the size shown in the Brush Editor is merely the default size for said brush.

I can change the hardness, angle, aspect ratio, etc., but the size just won't change, whether using the bracket keys or the radius slider. I'm not using a mouse and I don't want to try using the track pad's scroll function to change the size of the brush because I use it to scroll. Any suggestions?
