How to select next brush in the same tag?

Tech Support General Questions
1

I’m trying to select the next/previous brush present in the same tag while painting on canvas, but I didn’t find those shortcuts in the settings, where are they?

It seems there is no such shortcut.
if you go to shortcuts and enter “preset” in the input bar, you will find the possible shortcuts related to presets.
A few that might interest you:

  • / to toggle with last used preset
  • next/previous favorite preset can be bond to shortcuts
  • ten brush scripts can help (never used on mac as it was failing at the time)
  • F6 to show the presets docker in a popup (that’s what I use with the toggling one)

I, understand…

Then what should I do in order to rotate the brush tip?

I tried making 10 brushes with different angles but it seems that I can’t even use them.

Also, the angle modifier is unintuitive and rotating the canvas breaks the workflow.

You can make the brush tip rotate in many different ways by opening the brush settings with F5 (not O sorry):

  • At a fixed value if you have a predefined brush tip you have a slider and a widget.
  • But you also have a rotation dynamic parameter which allows you to make your (nearly) wildest dreams come true. The brush can follow the direction of your drawing or the Tilt direction which are very useful…

O? The default is F5

However so far is impossible to add a shortcut to rotate the brush tip or a slider to the main window ( it’s only in the popup palette and i don’t use that).

You may want to check a plugin in this forum called SB alternate (switch brush) the author made it cause they wanted to change between different rotations of a brush but the way it works you can make any variations you want for a brush and cycle through them

Edit, found the link Switch to Alternate Version of Brush Plugin

Oh, looks nice, thank you! I was about to lose hope on Krita since I’m still using my trusty XP-Pen (without tilt nor rotation support) because I didn’t want to go for an oversized tablet.

No problem. i have the same issue as you, i use a XP pen without tilt support as i really don’t like the feature. Never knew how to control that well and prefer to manually rotate my brush when needed.

Exactly, why spend hundreds of money for a tablet with extra clutter, where you could just buy one that could do the job more efficiently, faster and ergonomically easy?

It depends on what you do with the tablet…
