Hello, I'm on a Surface Book and I want the side button on my Surface Pen to be able to be used as the Color Selector Tool (similar to pressing CTRL) so that when I hold down the side button on my Surface Pen and tap a color it will switch me to that color and then go back to my brush when I let go of the side button. This is a feature that I've gotten used to from other art programs and it feels very intuitive. How do I make this happen in Krita? Currently with Krita when I hold the side button on my Surface Pen and tap the screen it opens that awful Palette menu which I just hate. I've tried changing it in Keyboard Shortcut settings but it won't let me program the side button of my Surface Pen as a hotkey, it only works with keyboard inputs. I appreciate the help, thanks!

Go to settings->configure Krita->canvas input settings. There, first remove the entry under 'pop-up palette', and then go to alternate invocation, and set 'pick color from merged image' to use 'mouse input' and then change the entry in the middle to use rightclick. https://docs.krita.org/en/user_manual/i ... lor-picker

That worked beautifully! Thanks so much! I'm glad I asked here. I've been trying to figure out how to do this forever. It works great now!!
