I understand the request, I'm just not sure when we'll get to implementing it. It's more complex than you'd think... Is there any other application that works this way?

I did a search if i find one, yes Manga Studio has this feature:

I've had the chance to try this feature in Gimp 2.9.1.
Programs I know that already have/could have this feature implemented:

- Gimp 2.9.1, it's a checkbox labeled "Lock brush size to zoom" (http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-developer/16812-brush-size-relative-to-canvas-size)
- Clip Studio Paint 1.3.8, it's a checkbox named "Specify by size on screen" (http://www.clip-studio.com/site/gd_en/csp/toolguide/csp_toolguide_en/100_reference/100_reference_burashisaizu.htm)
- Mischief 2, it's a toggle in the preferences (http://www.maclife.com/article/reviews/mischief-2-review)
- MyPaint, there's currently an issue open about it (https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint/issues/289)

WISHGROUP: Out of scope

I don't think this fits the way we like Krita to work, sorry. Maybe later on.
