Dear developers,
There is short cut missing in the new version 6.2.12 In version 2.6.11 you can change the scale of brushes by using ] to enlarge or [ decrease the size of the brush. It would be nice if this came back in the next version therefore I turn back to version 6.2.11. It's a very handy tool.
However I look forward to the new version 2.8 the developers did a very good job. The link http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/what-hasnt-happened-to-gimp-2.8 impressed me for the new appications. Many thanks for this.
Regards Theo

Hey Theo,

I don't know if this is relevant to your use case, but one of my favorite "should be a default" features is the ability to use the normally unassigned alt + mouse wheel combination to scale brushes. Since [ and ] are usually right-handed gestures, most users will like not having to let go of their mouse to change their brush size. Configuration, illustrated:

Thanks a lot Steve,
I have installed the version 6.2.12 again installed over the previous version and now the short key [ and ] does work again. I don't know the reason for this, but every thing it’s OK now. The illustration of the mouse in combination is a different content in my Dutch version, but I see this can be modified. It's very useful.
Best regards Theo

Kind regards

Yes Johnny version 2.6.12 is right and the short key [] works fine. Problem solved.
