Hello =)
how is it possible to assign abbreviations to Wacom pens?
I have a slim pen with 2 buttons and one with 3 buttons, somehow they cannot be assigned.
And how can I assign a specific eraser to a key?

It really depends on which operating system you use. If you’re on Windows, use the Wacom software settings that @kacart suggested.
If you’re on Linux, you can use xsetwacom commands to set the pen buttons or tablet buttons.

Do you mean a keyboard key or a tablet key/button?
You can assign a particular keyboard key combination to any brush preset by use of the
Tools → Scripts → Ten Brushes scripts and those Ten Brushes key combinations can be changed in the Settings → Configure Krita → Keyboard Shortcuts section under Scripts → Ten Brushes.
For a tablet button, you have to configure it to send a particular key combination, as noted in replies above.

1* under Keyboard Shortcuts - Painting there is an option Set Erasing Mode, the ability to toggle erasing on/off.
I put this on a button (Ä), if you press it you can erase and if you press it again you can paint again. But an eraser is specified there, I don’t know which one and I don’t know how to use a different eraser there.
2* And is there a way to hold down the button while erasing and when you let go you go back to paint mode with the brush you used before?
At the moment you always have to press 2 times
3* I mean both keyboard button and tablet button, you MUST use keystroke in the WACOM settings, you can’t assign a function to the pen button directly from the program in Krita.
under tools I only have:
Interactions Tool
Shortcuts for tools
path tool
I found this:
Keyboard shortcuts can be changed in the Settings → Configure Krita → Keyboard Shortcuts section under Scripts → Ten Brushes. There will be 10 options where I can assign brushes. How do I know which brush to assign there? have 3 erasers or e.g. B. any brush z. B. I want to have Eraser Small “that’s the name” on the Ä button or assign it to a button on the pen. As written above, I can only assign the eraser mode.
4* Ten Brushes Scripts and Ten Brushes what is that exactly?

Select Eraser Mode does not select an eraser. It forces the current brush preset to paint with Erase blending mode.
Using the ‘/’ shortcut, you can switch between current preset and previous preset.
That is a quick way to swap between any two presets for rapid painting-erasing.
Here are two pictures which should be the equivalent of two thousand words:

thank you very much =)
So now the other question? You have to click…then he erases…then click again…then he paints again.
Is it possible to just hold down the button and then erase and when you let go it paints again?
It’s a toggle action, as you’ve noticed.
I believe that would be possible by writing a special plug-in using Python and interacting with the krita Python API.
You could learn how to do that, many people do

You could try @wojtryb’s lightweight “TemporaryToolSwitching-Plugin” & here, or @Grum999’s round-about “Buli Brush Switch” & here. There is another plugin for this, but I can’t find it again at the moment, I’ll repost it when my brain sputters it out again.

Hello @AhabGreybeard
All right, thanks for the info
Yes, programming yourself has advantages, let’s see, maybe I’ll deal with the matter as a beginner =)
as for the other plugins, I’ll take a look at them =)
thanks for help
