In zoom mode (Ctrl+Space) you have to drag the mouse UP and DOWN to change the zoom. In brush size mode you have to drag the mouse LEFT and RIGHT to change the brush size. I would be happy if the drag directions would be consistent as I often by mistake drag into the wrong direction when changing zoom and brush size one after another. BTW is there an opacity mode (similar to brush size mode) to change opacity by dragging the mouse? (I already know about the keys 'I' and 'O')
Hi Jelena, No, such a mode doesn't exist, but we do have a heads-up display now where you can extend the popup palette and drag sliders for these settings. I'm not sure about changing the direction of the zoom action; other people might get upset when it changes.
> we do have a heads-up display now where you can extend the popup palette and drag sliders for these settings You're right! I really like this popup palette especially if working in full canvas mode. This might be a sufficient replacement for an opacity mode. I would suggest one usability improvement: a) close popup palette automatically after changing opacity OR b) Automatically close popup palette when starting to paint. (Currently an additional click is needed to close the palette). Might I add a feature request for this? > I'm not sure about changing the direction of the zoom action; other people might get upset when it changes. I understand your concerns. However I think a horizontal movemement for changing zoom would be a sane and consistent behaviour - especially as the orientation of the zoom slider both in the status bar and in the overview dock is horizontal (and not vertical) as well. Another option would be to support both horizontal AND vertical movements (even though it would be simpler to only use horizontal movements).
@Jelena for the popup palette usability changes, please check if there is already feature request for that, and if not, file a new one. The direction in dragging requires more discussion with artists before it can be implemented.

Hi, just passing by. Here is another discussion about the drag direction problem: https://krita-artists.org/t/direction-of-drag-for-zoom-and-brush-size-adjustment/5273/4 A better implementation is to tweet both Left/Down as decrease and Right/Up as increase. This will not affect existing users and also cover other users (like me and OP) that find the current setting is inconsistent, not natural. (May not be a good idea to limit the drag in horizontal or vertical in the 1st place)
I guess I agree with @Nick in comment 5.
