I really like this feature from Krita and My paint but I think it would be very inconsistent with from the way every other short cut we have. does switching back and forth between tools using N, P, E, A, and K work for you? I personally turn off the sharing options in the tool options because when I use the brush and the pen or the air brush I expect them to be different. I manly use brush and the eraser but I think I might turn them back on now. 2 - Dynamic brush size > One way to enlarge and / or reduce the brush without having to be > constantly using the tool options or the [and] for this.

I agree that this would be a nice feature to have come with GIMP. There have been a few brainstorm pages over the years about this topics here <http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xQahHh42Fms/Tx8mfEjM1fI/AAAAAAAABZ4/E8ahYqiA74Y/s1600/GimpUI-01.png>, here <http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VNnKJyj1cs8/ThXWpm4KvRI/AAAAAAAABX8/9eDqysn0PjE/s1600/brush_tools.png>, here <http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wmx3OgdATU0/SI7rG9LWVTI/AAAAAAAAAl0/fguM8Iskg0c/s1600/blur%2Bsharpen%2Bsmudge%2Btool.png>, here <http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wmx3OgdATU0/S38Mjc2ClmI/AAAAAAAABQY/N4vro1dKwCY/s1600/1_key_brush_resize.jpg>, and here <http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wmx3OgdATU0/SYt0N6syhOI/AAAAAAAAA_s/XgVle59tNWQ/s1600/quickbrushradius.png>. I don't know if there is a feature request in bugzilla though. The plugin does not work in GIMP 2.9 as the function it uses is deprecated. I am unable to log into the plugin registry or I would report the bug I am having. Here is the error I am getting. WARNING: Plug-In "dynamic_brush_resize.py" (/home/andrew/.config/GIMP/2.9/plug-ins/dynamic_brush_resize.py) called deprecated procedure 'gimp-brushes-get-spacing'. It should call 'gimp-brush-get-spacing' instead! 3 - Dynamic zoom > A dynamic zoom directly with the mouse or tablet's stylus ... the keyboard > shortcut (+) and (-) are difficult to use in painting session. Zoom tool > becomes a bit annoying while painting ... every time you have to select via > tool box or via keyboard zoom then painting, and to reselect again the > paint tool. > > On MyPaint and Krita this feature is present, and they are similar > behavior. On MyPaint, for instance, the zoom is enabled with Ctrl+Drag. > This is honistly one of the greatest features of My paint. To very quickly zoom in and out like this is so amazing. I would add shift+Drag to rotate the image once that feature is done as well. Andrew -- Jesus is my Lord and Savior.
