Brush/Eraser sizing with Alt+Scroll Wheel

[Nonnominandus]

I would really like to be able to change the size of the brush tool (and the eraser) with hotkeys. As a hotkey I would suggest Alt + Scrolling. This would make it a lot easier/smoother to switch between erasing big parts of a picture at once and deleting tiny details for example.

You can already do this. Use the [ and ] keys.

Why don't you just place your cursor over the size box and change the value with your mouse wheel ?

I use CTRL+ ↑ or ↓ for this purpose. (I'm lefthanded, so thats easier for me)

Under the Tool Bar section, need to add a line, "Increase brush width by 5 CTRL + ]"

Thanks - I discovered that omission when adding the new bit.

You don't need the Ctrl key here. Click in the Brush Width value box and use the up/down arrow keys.

Funny thing. Must be some kind of "habit", using CTRL.
