change brush size

what is the keyboard shortcut to change the brush size?

iMac 24" 2.4 GHz 4GB ram, MacBook 13.3" 2.1 GHz 1 GB ram, Mac OS X (10.5.2), made the switch in March 2007!

You can use the Radius slider in the HUD or the middle mouse scroll ball or wheel. There is not a direct short cut to change the size. The Mouse is the quickest way. If you are using a trackpad, just slide with two fingers to increase or decrease the size.

I'm using a ModBook. No mouse or trackpad. I wonder if there is a way to assign a keyboard shortcut.

No, unfortunately there is no way to add custom KB shortcuts to the Brushing commands.

This is a bummer...it would be useful to change brush sizes using the buttons on the pen of my wacom bamboo tablet!

This can be done on w. the Intuous -- in fact, it comes pre-programmed as the top Touch-Ring command. I just got an Intuous, and am not familiar with it (nor, of course, the Bamboo) -- but can't you program the button (perhaps limited to Aperture) -- perhaps with an additional keypress -- to "pan/scroll"? With a Brush HUD visible, this defaults to changing the brush size.
