I have brush size problems, and I would like to ask for your suggestion.
I’ve just reinstall win 10, and krita as well. This version of krita 5.1.5. somehow changed the tablet’s shortkeys.
Previously, one of the shortkeys were used to increase or decrease the size of the brush. Now this functions has been changed to erase(E).
Other buttons (1 button each) increase or decrease the brush size after each press by a small amount, but what I had earlier was that I pushed the button and in the same time if I moved my pencil up or down(maybe left or right) on the tablet it increased or decreased the size of the brush.
Can you tell me how to set this feature back?
I have a Huion 1060 plus tablet, and it has now a new driver or renewed surface for the tablet settings.
E is the standard key to toggle erase mode since at least a decade or so. Perhaps you previously used the SAI or Photoshop compatible shortcut scheme, you can change this in Krita’s settings.
Krita doesn’t communicate directly with your tablet so it can’t change your tablet’s key settings. It sounds like you had customized settings within Krita which got overwritten when you reinstalled the Windows system.
You can edit Krita’s shortcuts by going to Settings, Configure Krita, Keyboard Shortcuts (and also Canvas Inputs for shortcuts that involve mouse/stylus clicks).
I think it was a basic thing earlier. However, when I try to set this option using a keyboard shortcut, typing alt+F to get this character:
[
, then the tablet doesn’t do this increase decrease thing.
It seems to me, that the basic features changed somehow. I tried to set the [ character, which stands for decreasing in the default controll settings, but when I push it on the tablet it doesn’t do any sort of a decrease or increase.
By the way, do you happen to use the same feature I was talking about? Pushing 1 key on the tablet and with the stylus increase or decrease the brushsize?
Go into Keyboard shortcuts and type brush size in the search bar. That will tell you what your current shortcut is.
1 has never been a default for brush size. I believe it was part of the zoom setup (I’ve changed around so many times I can’t even remember some of the defaults).
@phantie Why did you type Alt+F to try to get the ‘[’ keyboard shortcut?
Repeating the advice from @sooz earlier: You reinstalled Windows - that would wipe everything from your computer - all personalised settings and configurations for all applications and all connected peripheral devices.
Have you installed the most up to date driver for your tablet?
Have you created a specific profile for krita in your tablet settings?
Krita does not talk to the tablet or make changes to it in any way - it only listens via the driver and operating system.
“1 has never been a default for brush size.”
I meant pushing not the key or number 1 particularly, but any given key which stands for or set to do this effect.
Ok i get that, and thx for the ideas. The latest driver of the huion tablet has been changed. Probably that is the problem. I thaught, if I configure that button in the tablet’s driver menu to [ , which controls the brush size in the deafult krita settings, it will work. But it doesn’t.
Do you use a keyboard or keyboard layout that’s not a standard English QWERTY by any chance? Mine for example doesn’t have a dedicated [ key which is problematic in a lot of software I use. Non English keyboard shortcut Support is still missing in pretty much every software.
Thanx 4 the help!
Now I have another issue typing ctrl shift =.
it always end up as control shift 7.
But in the browser or any other surface i can typpe control shift =
