Gesture Shortcuts for Brush Size and Strength in Sculpt Mode
Description: Hello, Another function that should ideally be standard in Sculpt mode, as in other modes, would be to implement gesture-based shortcuts directly on the stylus or mouse:
- Right-click + horizontal drag → adjust brush size.
- Right-click + vertical drag → adjust brush strength.
Goal:
- Standardize the user experience across different modes.
- Allow quick and intuitive adjustment of essential brush parameters.
- Reduce workflow interruptions by avoiding the need to open menus.
Expected Benefits:
- Faster and smoother sculpting workflow.
- More natural and ergonomic control, especially for stylus users.
- Consistent shortcut behavior across the interface.

You can actually map this kind of behaviour in Keymap editor.
You can map "wm.radial_control" command to Right Mouse, and then select Drag, and define direction for it. There are few caveats. You have to map every direction separately. You can't map Horizontal, instead you need 2 mappings, own for Right and Left. Also, the behaviour may not be exactly what you want, as you have to confirm the resizing with Left Click.
