(The following text is translated by Google. I hope I can express myself clearly. I like krita very much. It is really easy to use)
I have been using krita for a while, and I have found two problems that affect my work:
The pen cursor in krita cannot keep up with the cursor in the operating system, and its speed is always slower than the system cursor. If you use a digital screen, you may not notice it, but if you use a hand-painted tablet or mouse, you will immediately feel the delay of the krita cursor. I heard that this problem has existed for a long time. Is there any possibility of solving it in the future? (I am sure this is a problem with krita itself and has nothing to do with the hand-painted tablet or operating system. I use windows, have also changed to linux, and have also changed to computers with higher configurations, and this problem exists.)
If you open other software and then return to krita while using krita, the keys in krita will be disabled, and you will not be able to use any shortcut keys to operate.
It seems you are talking about krita’s brush outline delay. The delay is more noticeable with line work.
My current setup is enable Cursor “small circle” in Krita setting (which use system cursor), and assign a shrotcut to toggle brush outline depending on line work or paint with bigger brush.
Can you elaborate more, like, what software? And what shortcut key not working (temporary shortcut which need to hold, or all the shortcut including tool switch which not require holding?)?
As far as I know, this is not specific to krita, and it happens in other painting apps too. Can you test this with other painting apps(such as clip studio paint, medibang paint, photoshop) and see if this only happens with krita?
I don’t know what software is causing it. This problem always appears suddenly, and when this problem occurs, the keyboard does not work. (does not work within krita only)
Thank you for your reply. I have tried Photoshop, SAI, and CLIP STUDIO PAINT, and their performance is surprisingly good. Among them, Photoshop’s performance is the best, and I can hardly feel its delay.
When I use a low-configuration computer, Photoshop performs the worst. In contrast, krita is very smooth.
So I thought this was not a problem caused by computer performance.
AFAIK, it has been discussed eariler. The outline is software-rendered, and the delay seems dependant to your computer setup. Some people have noticeable delay, while others only have minimal delay.
Have heard certain software will cause krita keyboard not working, but I can’t recall the detail…
Will minimize then maximize Krita make keyboard work again?
