Type of device (graphics tablet/display tablet/2-in-1 laptop/Android tablet): Display tablet
Brand and version of the device: Huion Kamvas 16 Pro
System (Windows/Linux/Mac/Android, + version): Windows 10
Description of the issue (you can include screenshots): I try to map the stylus button for right click to bring up the Popup Palette but nothing happens. all other mappings work for hot buttons and the other stylus button. This is the only mapping that doesn’t seem to work. I still have to use my mouse to right click the pop up palette. Does anyone else use a Kamvas 16 pro?
In the settings > configure Krita you can activate “use mouse event for right clicks” it would probably work.
I have a Kamvas too, if it’s not the case, i recommand you to use WinTab (like in the screenshot) and don’t forget to un-tick the “Use Windows Ink” option in the huion driver too (and restart Krita after done it)

Thanks. That worked. I have to keep my stylus touching the screen for it to come up, but it works. I love the pop up palette. I can instantly make all my changes there. Screen rotation, brush choice, colors, size, opacity, etc… without having to jump around all the windows and toolbars. Plus I can work in full canvas mode. You’ve saved me mco.

Thanks, perfect answer ( I’m using a Huion too) ^^
I try to avoid necro-posting, but I wanted to add for the record that this solution helped me as well, and I am using an XP-Pen Deco Pro M, which I purchased recently.

Very nice thanks! Had the same problerm with a Huion Kamvas 22 Plus (PW517 pen). Not only did this fix the popup palette problem but it also cured a strange slugishness when trying to move the zoom slider in the lower right corner. I also have the Huion Keydial and ironically, the popup palette worked fine there when assigned to one of the buttons. It was only the pen switch that didn’t work. Weird.
Back a day later with an update. I turned on the computer this morning and started up Krita. The pen button worked once and then I couldn’t get it to work right again. I went back and looked at the settings to make sure nothing had changed. Everything was still as indicated here. Something tthat seemed to have solved the problem (again) was the Use Mouse events… option. I disabled that option and now it’s working as expected (again). Shut down Krita (a couple of times) to make sure, and it seems to be working right again. Just something to consider if you have the same experience I just had. Oh and, both the right-mouse button and the programmed button on the mini-keydial worked fine. What is it with the pen itself? Could the pen be going bonkers?
Can you make a new post about your issue please. This post is pretty old.
I tried this solution and it didn’t work… I made a thread about it, but no one responded.
strange can you point me to the thread
Never mind. I had to download the newest Krita. Thanks for the help!
I did a Krita reset yesterday (reset to factory defaults). Everything seems to be working fine now. Not sure what I had changed along the way that caused this popup palette problem but it seems fine now. I was working that Bob Ross tutorial. There was a lot of user interface customization going on. I must have hosed something…
I am happy for you! Finally, you are back on the road, and can now work with Krita again.
And now, a little tip for you (and everyone reading this):
For the future, i.e. for the time after you have set up Krita again, it would be a good idea to back up your new settings files in between, so that you can easily replace them afterwards in a case like this. This would be mainly the kritarc, kritadisplayrc and if existing also the files kritashortcutsrc, karboncalligraphyrc, krita-scripterrc, klanguageoverridesrc. Furthermore, it can’t hurt to back up the resource folder, at least if you are attached to your self-made resources, it makes sense to back up them occasionally. (And with today’s common hard disk sizes this is not very noticeable, and makes sense in my eyes).
So, and now happy painting!

Thanks for mentioning that Michlist. Backups and archives are everything. Data doesn’t really exist unless it exsists in two places (more places the better). I back up and archive data for my recording studio. I have two decades of client data strored here on DVD-R and hard disk drives. Even if it’s just a hobby it makes sense to do that. You’ll thank yourself somewhere down the road.
Hopefully you remember to renew the DVD’s regularly, “normal” DVD’s age relatively quickly and can already lose data after 5 years, especially if you have burned the DVD’s at maximum speed or the storage conditions are not optimal (temperature, humidity). Or do you use DVD’s specially certified for long-term archiving?
For archiving I used to use DVD-RAM, but unfortunately they are hardly available today and for the amount of data I have to backup, about 20 TB, neither DVD nor BD are recommended, although I have a BD burner. But for those who only have small amounts of data to back up, the special DVD’s and BD’s for long term archiving should be good.

I haven’t had a problem retrieving data from the DVD’s - some as old as 20 years. I assume they don’t last forever. But tape has a similar (if not more profound) problem. I swithced over to hard drives for backup. They can go bad too. So it’s all relative I guess. I don’t know what most studios do with archives, or if they even made any. Many bands rented tape from the studio and then the masters were erased the next time the tape was used.
And then there was this:
I have the same problem after update to beta 5.0.
Palette is gone and it’s still missing after I activated “use mouse event for right click” and restarted Krita 
I have Win 10 and Cintiq 16 tablet
