Hi, A very nice feature for people who use Gimp for drawing (like me) would be to have brush size adjustable by simply holding a key and dragging the mouse/pen anywhere on the canvas. This would then grow or shrink the brush, and you could judge the size from the outline of the brush as your drag. It's a quick and accurate way of adjusting the brush size used. You can see this feature in Blender (go to UV Editing, create New image in the left panel, and hold F and drag to adjust the brush size). The same could be applied to opacity, but is most useful for brush sizes.
