Bug ID: 410272
Summary: Option to set brush size increments
Product: krita
Version: 4.2.3
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Usability

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I would like to be able to use the hotkeys "[" and "]" to change the brush size
by logarithmic increments e.g. every press doubles or halves the size of the
brush.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
The current brush size increments are fixed values that change relative to the
brush size to stay relevant. Bug 325295 relates to tweaking this, but for my
painting process, though the hotkeys are the most convenient way to change the
brush size (others being too imprecise, finicky or unpredictable) it is still
so slow to cover the frequent large size changes I want to do.
As a result, I find myself making lots of custom brush presets at every
sensible size I need (16, 32, 64, 128, etc) for every brush I use frequently.
As I create lots of unique brush presets and tweak them often, this multiplies
the number of brushes I need to use and maintain, slowing me down and
cluttering my brush preset panels.
EXPECTED RESULT
If only I could set a multiplication factor for the brush size increments so
that pressing the hotkeys would eg double or halve the size of the brush. Then
I wouldn't need to make size versions of all those brushes for fast use. In my
opinion, implementing the brush size changes that way would give every user
freedom of how fine the steps should be while keeping the whole thing very
intuitive, simple, precise and predictable.
At the very least, being able to set a multiplication factor for the size
change increments as they are implemented now would be helpful. In that case, I
could just speed up the changes so that every keypress would change the brush
size by roughly a factor of 2.
