SUMMARY
So you know how you can use  finger drag gestures on the canvas to change the brush size while drawing with the Freehand Brush Tool?

Sadly, these gestures don't work when the Bezier Curve Tool, Polyline Tool, or Freehand Path Tool are active. Considering these tools can generate results based on the current brush size, I think it would be useful for people who do touch drawing for the gesture shortcut to work with these tools too.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to Settings, Configure Krita, Canvas Input Settings, Change Primary Setting
2. Create a new shortcut: Gesture, Three-Finger Drag, Normal
3. Now, select the Bezier Curve Tool, Polyline Tool, or Freehand Path Tool. Do a 3 finger drag.

OBSERVED RESULT
Brush size doesn't change.

EXPECTED RESULT
Brush size changes, like how it happens when the Brush Tool or Enclose-and-Fill Tool is active.

Those tools don't have that feature, so this goes on the wishlist. It's also not specifically gestures, it goes for any canvas shortcut for changing brush size.
