Brush size shortcut on laptop

[boemann]

Hi!
Been using PSE6 for some time, but haven't yet found out how to change brush sizes other than with the "slider". The bracket ([ and ]) shortcut doesn't work..I guess since I'm on a laptop. I feel it should be:
altGr. + 8 or 9,
but that doesn't work.
(Shift + < and shift +> takes the size from 1 to 45, but thats not what I want.)
Can you guys help?

I use PSE6/7 on a laptop and the [ and ] keys work good for me to change the brush size. Have you tried resetting the brush tool?

the [ and ] also work for me on my laptop

Thanks for your answers!
Yes, I've tried to reset the tools.
To be sure: my "[" and "]" are on the same keys as "8" and "9" on the keyboard (just like @ is next to 2). Is it like that for you guys to?
Any other suggestions?

Sounds like you might have a different style key board. My HP laptop has the [ and ] symbols on the same keys as the { and } just to the right of the P - my desktop full keyboard is the same - and changing brushing sizes using those keys works just the same as on my desktop.

Boemann, on every QWERTY keyboard I have ever seen, the bracket keys are the two keys immediately to the right of the P key. What kind of laptop do you have?

Are the number keys you are referring to (that share the bracket keys) in a keypad or across the top?

Another questions, when typing in a word processing program, how do you type the brackets vs. the numbers? DO you have to hold down a Fn key perhaps? Are the brackets a different color on the keytop?

If you have to hold down the shift key or Fn key to type the left or right bracket, then I assume you have to do the same thing to make them work as brush adjusters in Elements.

I must have some sort of scandinavian/european keyboard. Next to my "P" is "Å" and "¨" letters/signs. AND these work!
Thanks!
