Welcome to TVPaint Community forums !

I've noticed that the brush resize shortcut ('z' by default, I believe) only works on custombrushes doesn't it?

So when I have another brush selected, for example, the penbrush or the pencil, this shortcut doesn't work. TVP just shows the last custombrush that I had selected and not the penbrush that I'm working with at the time.

Is this normal? I find it strange that there is only a shortcut key for the custombrush and not for other brushes. Also the shortcut key is named "Brush: Resize" so I'd expect it to work with any kind of brush and not only the custombrush.

I still have the default "z" key but it is set to "Tools Option: Change Size"
Try to change it to that, it should work as you described it.

That worked. Thanks Paul.
I think this function should be renamed to something clearer in the shortcut panel, though.
