Type of device* : Samsung Android Tablet

Description of the issue (you can include screenshots): I’m trying to set a shortcut (Ctrl Z) on my s-pen button, but the virtual keyboard doesn’t appear and I can’t change the shortcut. To make it easier to understand, I recorder my screen showing the process. Here’s the link on Google Drive to watch the video: Vídeo of the situation

Hello @Raabe and welcome to the forum

Which version of krita are you using?
If you’re not using the latest version 5.2.0 then it would be a good idea to update to that.

I don’t have experience of using an Android tablet but there are people on the forum who do so please wait for advice from them.

Pinging @sooz and @CrazyCatBird who may be able to help.

Hi @Raabe - I don’t have an S-Pen so I’m unable to test this but here is something you can try.

Inside Configure Krita, choose S-Pen Actions instead of Keyboard Shortcuts. To navigate to S-Pen Actions at the bottom you may have to scroll the window. Undo (which is ctrl+Z) is one of the possible actions when you click the dropdown menu at “Click.”

There may be other ways to set a button to undo by going through the Canvas Input Settings category. Just remember that you will need to reserve the “right click” function to enable the popup widget for many of Krita’s tools.
