Tips : Use "Three Finger Drag" Touch Gesture for Color Sampler Tool (eyedropper)

[Lesqwe56]

Krita 5.1.0 have introduce some touch gesture configuration in Canvas Input Setting

They are pretty nice, but I still want to change Pan Canvas gesture from Three Finger Drag to One Finger Drag to fit my taste.

But what about Sample Foreground Color from Merged Image (eye dropper)? It is assinged to One Finger Drag by default, can we just switch it with Three Finger Drag ?
How does it pick color from canvas if we put three fingers?

Goal : Set one finger to pan canvas & three fingers to pick color

First exchange the two gesture like this:

Then, back to canvas and pick the color you want, but with some note:

First, press down the FIRST finger, it will be the “Color Sampling Finger”
Second, press down another two finger (it is easier with another hand, I prefer using thumb and middle finger)

You can now easily dragging (or even leave canvas and tap) the FIRST finger to the color you want to pick, other two fingers don’t need to move

(Just found it when doodling on Android tablet, hope it helps.)

Looks too complicated for my setup (wacom, etc) … I just do a shift and move/click with pen. Works great!

I’m too afraid to wear off the pen side botton so everything is assigned to touch function

… of course it may be different on an Android tablet… dunno…

I use PC setup with keyboard. Just that want to use Android tablet with a more “mobile experience”

Well imo sampling color must be adjusted with a long press . I use it that way in other smartphone apps . I ha been testing 3 fingers and for me that is not usable because goes directly in opposite direction of everybody learns. I am testing already Krita and this is a big stop for me if I want to paint for a large session. I listen for suggestions on how to configure it. Here one finger drag is not working by default.
