Hi,

The current behaviour for click dragging brush size is that you hold shift while left-click-dragging along the horizontal axis. I need it to be the vertical axis.

I use tablet pro's artist pad which doesn't have the kind of sliders similar to Wacom's where you can just map keys like: '[' and ']'. Instead it just has mouse drag with optional modifiers (ctrl/alt/shift/), so I have to use krita's mouse dragging to make it happen.
The problem is that it's much easier to slide and down on the side of the screen, rather then left and right, hence why I want mouse drag on the vertical axis, which I can't seem to change.

I checked the keyboard shortcuts and canvas input and the only thing that seems to indicate anything related is in the 'canvas input' menu in the settings, under 'change primary setting'. There's something there with 'shift left mouse button' but no mention of drag, let alone the direction, or even the use of the shortcut.

Btw, just want to say, really nice job on Krita so far. You're so close to trumping Photoshop in every way that concepting is concerned, which is why I'm trying to learn it and get a nice workflow with it.

Warm regards,

Simon.

You would need to change this function's code:

void KisToolFreehand::continueAlternateAction(KoPointerEvent *event, AlternateAction action)

Hey boudewijn,

It looks like I might be out of my depth here... I'm no programmer.. but is that the source code language? Is my only hope just to compile my own branch of krita? What's involved with that?

warm regards,

Simon.

Yes, that's part of the source Krita is written in. It's C++. Building Krita is reasonably easy on reasonable recent Linux distributions, more involved on Windows and OSX.
