Hey Theo,

I don't know if this is relevant to your use case, but one of my
favorite "should be a default" features is the ability to use the
normally unassigned alt + mouse wheel combination to scale brushes. 
Since [ and ] are usually right-handed gestures, most users will
like not having to let go of their mouse to change their brush
size.  Configuration, illustrated:
