Brush size keyboard shortcut

janbak
The shortcuts to change to brush size should be [ and ] on my iMac keyboard to get these symbols I have to press Alt+é ... but it doesn't work and I don't know why ☹️
Is there someone that can help me?
Many thanks

    The standard keys for brush size are '[' and ']', without <alt>. Have a look at menu - 'Help' - 'Keyboard Shortcut Summary', at the bottom of the list.

    janbak, what language is your keyboard? I had the same problem with my german keyboard and solved it by changing the shortcut to "," and "." for size and "shift" + "," and "shift" + "." for hardness.

    should have told me you are on a different keyboard language. So I would like to know which one, too.

    I am sure the '[' and ']' are there, just not written out on the keys. Every programmer needs them. On a french keyboard ( just guessing, based on the 'é' ), '[' and ']' should be on <Shift> + <Alt> + '5' and <Shift> + <Alt> + '°', I think. ( With <Shift> + '5' and <Shift> + '°' being '(' and ')'. ) But I am not sure they will work. Keyboard layouts can be tricky in shortcuts.

    The best way is to follow the advice Johannes gave you and define your own keys from main menu - 'Capture One 9' - 'Edit Keyboard Shortcuts'.

    I just checked it setting my keyboard to Italian. You are right, it doesn't work. Reason is that the <Alt> key is used by CO to toggle brush behavior. You will need to redefine your keyboard shortcut to something without <Alt> here. Just go main menu - 'Capture One 9' - 'Edit Keyboard Shortcuts'.
