Hello. This may already be implemented, but I have not found a way to map brush intensity increase/decrease to the dial on a mini keyboard controller. Brush size can be mapped to a dial without issue; however, intensity adjustment appears to be limited to touchscreen gestures or the C + drag shortcut in the desktop version.

Could support be added for binding brush intensity to external controllers (e.g., rotary dials), similar to how brush size is handled? Thank you.
