Hi folks.
I have a Wacom Intuos S stylus with 2 buttons on the side. One button activates the palette where I can select the type of brush or pen. I didn’t set this up, it automatically worked like this when I installed Krita.
The other button does nothing. I would like to set the other button to launch the eraser, or perhaps to launch the canvas only view (full screen canvas).
I am using Krita on Windows 10.
Thanks in advance.
Hi! Welcome to Krita! 
I have an ancient Wacom, but it can definitely be adjusted: at the Wacom Tablet settings/preferences control panel. You just go to Windows Start menu, type/search “Wacom” to find that little program. (If you can’t find it, you need to install the official driver.)
This official Wacom tutorial youtu.be/R8YMspsNBGQ?t=53 [timestamped link, audio-less] shows that specific step. At the timestamp (53sec), you can see how to configure the two-buttoned stylus.
Choose from the drop-down:
"Keyboard" > “Keystroke”.
Hope you have as much fun painting and customizing w/ Krita as I did!
Thanks for your reply.
In the ‘Keystroke’ box, I press Shift + e (to get ‘E’), and the text that is displayed in the box shows “(Shift)e”. This did not cause the eraser to kick in when I press the button. Neither does typing just ‘e’ in the ‘Keystroke’ box. Instead, pressing and holding the button scrolls/pans the canvas, which was the default setting for this button (but didn’t work when I started the thread).
I will mark your reply as the solution, because I feel that it should work, but for some reason it doesn’t.
Hi, sorry to hear it didn’t work for you. I just re-tried the steps, and “E” alone in the Keystroke box worked for me. The box should show just “E”, and nothing else.
Then, as intended, I pressed the stylus button once, then when I drew, it erased. If I pressed it again, it switched back to a brush.
In fact, when I pressed the stylus button in a text editor, the letter “e” appears immediately, as if I typed it! 
Did you limit the keystroke to the wrong application? (Top of the Wacom program: the Application box in the tutorial.)
It should be just Krita,… or “All” (if you want to type E like how I did 
)
I press Shift + e (to get ‘E’)
Definitely no Shift needed to record the keystroke. At least for me. Just “E”.
If you wanted to change your shortcut for the eraser:
Top menu bar: Settings > Configure Krita: [left sidebar: Keyboard Shortcuts]. Search for “Eraser”, you could added a second shortcut, like Shift+E, there if you wanted. But I doubt that would help, if “E” alone didn’t work for you.

How can you get a capital E without pressing Shift or Caps lock? I assigned the shortcut to both the Krita app and all apps.
Anyway, I think I will play around with the settings and if I manage to get it to work, I will reply with the what I did.
Once again, thanks for your reply. 
Capitalization doesn’t matter for keyboard shortcuts. “E” or “e” just means that button on the keyboard.
a capital E without pressing Shift or Caps lock?
I didn’t realize you were trying to use Shift+E to get a capital E.
As Hulmanen mentioned above, Krita’s single-key shortcuts are all case-insensitive. Notably, it doesn’t matter if the capslock is on or off, when you type e/E.
But, when it comes to the shortcuts, E ≠ Shift+e. Those two could be assigned separately.
Ok, it works now with just ‘e’! Thanks for the replies.
