 would be handy to have a dynamic brush size, like: if i zoom in, the 
brush size adapts to the canvas size and shrinks relative to the zoom 
factor. Vice-versa, if i zoom out, the brush size grows relative to the 
zoom factor.

I imagine this could be 'easy' to implement simply by adding a new unit of measure for brush sizes: "screen 
pixels" (as contrasted to "image pixels").  This might not be a useful feature to have for all measurements, 
but for brush sizes it could indeed be a plus.

For comparison, when you make adjustments in Inkscape the Alt modifier allows you to adjust things in terms 
of screen pixels (using the current zoom level), and it's a handy thing to have available.
