Ok I was kinda wrong on how to reproduce this. Writing it again : 

1. Open/create a document, and click outside the Krita window.
2. Go back to Krita, but do not place/hover your cursor on the canvas!
3. Press tab to activate canvas only mode


OS : Windows 10 x64

Yes, the canvas has to have focus for the tab key press to be registered.

Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2021-05-14 10:23:51 UTC

It's not something we can fix, because tab has different meanings depending which part of Krita has focus.

Comment 4 acc4commissions 2021-05-15 17:20:37 UTC

Does that mean there are other necessary usages for tab keys depending on which part has the focus atm?
