:slight_smile: Hello @muwhahahhaha, and welcome to the forum!

Unfortunately, you did not fill out/answer the questions asked in your new created topic.
So, the questions about the exact operating system you use, because there is more than only one version of Windows. Which Windows do you use?

Also, we want to know from you which version of Krita you use, the 3 digits number shown in the splash screen or in the menu:
"Help" → "Report Bug" the number behind "Version:"?

Additionally, we want to know from where you got your copy of Krita. Krita’s homepage, the Microsoft Store, the Epic Store, Steam, and if somewhere else, from where?

And the manufacturer of your tablet, Veikk, we know now, but not the model and its version /model number, if any?

The first thing you should do, after you have set up your tablet and mapped the working area of the tablet correctly to your display, is to create a profile for every software you use with your tablet. So please start Krita and then, in your driver, look on the page “Function”, there you can add Krita to the applications you use with your tablet.

Then, also on the page “Function”, you can set up which shortcut should do what, but you have to set the same shortcuts in Krita too, this is done in Krita in the menu:

''Settings'' >> ''Configure Krita'' >> ''Keyboard Shortcuts'' (always look here first, and for searching a shortcut, you can use the search bar on top of that dialog)
additionally, you can set up shortcuts in the menu:

''Settings'' >> ''Configure Krita'' >> ''Canvas Input Settings''

If these settings do not match each other, then it can not work!

But now we come to a problem. The usual issue is that the so-called API’s don’t fit together, should mean that Krita and your tablet “speak different languages”. Please open the driver application of your tablet and look for a setting called “Windows Ink” and disable it, if you can find it Unfortunately, does Veikk not name this setting in the manuals I just checked.
After you have disabled “Windows Ink” in your tablet driver, you have to go into the Krita menu:

''Settings'' >> ''Configure Krita'' >> ''Tablet Settings'' and enable ''WinTab'',

then confirm that setting with the OK-Button in the lower right corner of that dialog and restart Krita.

But only do this if you can disable “Windows Ink” in your tablet driver, if your driver does not have this possibility, then you have to set ‘‘Windows 8+ Pointer Input (Windows Ink)’’ in the same menu at:

''Settings'' >> ''Configure Krita'' >> ''Tablet Settings'' >> ''Windows 8+ Pointer Input (Windows Ink)'',

then confirm that setting with the OK-Button in the lower right corner of that dialog and restart Krita.

If you have further questions, then please answer first my questions from above. Then describe briefly but exact what you have done so far and where you are stuck and need further help.

Can you support me remotely via team viewer?

Yes, as I wrote it doesn’t activate undo because it’s not supposed to.

Do you like to get scammed on the internet? Because this is how you get scammed on the internet. Never ever give strangers access to your computer, ever!

Do other keyboard shortcuts work using the keyboard on your laptop?

i try other keyboard but non of them work

What? But you can type words right? Like when editing text in Krita’s text tool?

i don’t even know where the text tool :smiling_face_with_tear:

teach me more pls :sweat_smile:

For the shortcuts in Krita, you have to set them in the menu
''Settings'' >> ''Configure Krita'' >> ''Keyboard Shortcuts''

In your tablets’ driver, you have to set it up like this so Krita and your tablet understand each other. So first click on the + sign and select Krita out of the list of programs that will open up, after you selected Krita it should put Krita’s icon in the bar where I copied the symbol into (it is a photo montage):

Also, you must disable Windows Ink in your driver, I marked it with a red cross:

In Krita, you have to set it up like this now:

Then confirm that setting with the OK-Button in the lower right corner of that dialog and restart Krita.


In case you do not know how to get to that menu, first click on “Settings” 1 and then on “Configure Krita” 2, and it will show you the dialog to set your shortcuts in Krita. So the following picture only shows how you can find the dialogs in Krita, if you should have issues to find these:

In case of further questions, feel free to ask, but I’m out for at least an hour, but if I fall asleep after that hour, I will be back tomorrow.

Perhaps you should start with a basic Krita tutorial and read the manual.

Takiro is right. Learn more about Krita before you attempt to customize it.

After you use the manual and tutorials to understand how keyboard shortcuts work, you can then make any changes you like.

thanks but now i can press ctrl+shift+z to redo but it goes with color picking :smiling_face_with_tear: its anoying

@muwhahahhaha Have you found some Krita tutorials yet? Let us know if you would like recommendations.

Krita is going to be terribly frustrating until you take the time to learn the interface.

I am also asking for support from veikk, they said it might be a problem with my version or my tablet driver, even though veikk has reinstalled it for me, they informed me that my device is not compatible with the driver. They are planning to reinstall kirta for me.

muahaha finally everything is fine now thanks for everyone’s enthusiastic support :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’m happy to hear that it works now for you!

But what was the issue, respectively the solution? This can help others facing the same issue!

I don’t know for sure, maybe it’s because of my driver tablet and maybe because I use unlicensed Windows, so it has problems and also because I set up inappropriate parameters. :smiling_face_with_tear:
