nice, if this feature looks relative easy to implement! 
I, and thats me, would suggest a check-button or something persistent to activate this feature, rather some 
modifier keys (maybe as a complementary function) - just to make things handier
As a digital painter, i search always for new solutions to improve my work - a consistent brush size would 
help to speed up things, coupled with presets.
