Description of the issue (you can include screenshots):
I’m using Krita 4.4.8 on a Surface-Pro tablet with a pen (no keyboard) in canvas-only mode and I’m looking for a way to switch to the color picker (eyedropper) tool.
Looking around on the web, in the manual and on the forum, I didn’t find a way to do that with only the pen and the tablet. I seems to require a keyboard (to press ‘p’ key).
So I thought of adding the color picker tool in the pop-up palette but I could not figure how to do this for the color picker.
Any advise/ideas about how I could switch to color picker and back when in canvas-only mode on a tablet without keyboard ?
Hi,
Usally you have the Crtl keys for to swich temporarely to the color picker when you are using the brush.
Maybe, a tournaround solution, can be to configure a minimal workspace with only the toolsbox docker. And then you switch between the one spacework with full dockers and one with only the toolsbox.
But it will be a good idea to have a customisable docker in Kirta.
I’ll look into workspace configurations. This looks promising.
As for configure canvas mode, with the current workspace, unchecking “Toolbar and dockers”, is only slightly better because the dockers are still visible and taking a lot of screen space. But combining this with a configured workspace may be the right way.
You can put the Colour Picker tool and the Freehand Brush tool on the Toolbar and have that showing in Cavas Only mode if that would work for you.
You can then use Shift+I to Show Colour Selector.
Thanks AhabGreyBeard. I just added the color picker, the freehand brush and the canvas-only tools in the Toolbar and set the toolbars to display in canvas-only mode. That works the best so far. That was what I needed.
