Description of the issue:

I have issue that when I draw with stylus my finger bone likes to rest on screen making these annoying dots that I have to fix almost constantly. My hands tend to get sweaty quite a lot and even several layer touch-resistant gloves don’t help for longer drawing sessions.

This often happens when I place palm before stylus was registered (a bit more extreme scenario):

Is there a way to just with a click of a button to remove all touch imput and just leave stylus? Maybe even at least remove mouse imput on canvas? Or maybe there’s an app that does it for me?

Any suggestion would help.
Thank you.

I have no experience of any 2-in-1 devices and on a Windows system then I’d expect it to be somewhere in the Pen or Windows Ink settings.
For Arch Linux then it may (or may not) be somewhere in the system settings?

Which Desktop Manager do you use?
Someone else may be able to help if you provide that information.

Hello @Michelist :slight_smile:

I can’t tell for sure, but since the touch functions are called out of the ‘‘Canvas Input Settings’’, that you’ll find via ‘‘Settings’’ >> ‘‘Configure Krita’’ >> ‘‘Canvas Input Settings’’, you should be able to remap or delete all assigned touch actions in these ‘‘Canvas Input Settings’’.
If there is a global option to disable touch functionality is unknown to me because I never owned a device providing touch functionality and therefore never needed to disable that myself.

Have you tried disabling touch painting?

Going to Settings → Configure Krita → Canvas Input Settings, creating new imput profile (just in case I change my mind) and going to Settings → General → Enable touch Painting, solved my issue.

Thank you! <3
