Description vanyossi 2019-07-03 19:56:18 UTC 
Setting alternate invocation to 
Mouse Button to Meta + left click to Pick color.

The cursor changes to the color picker on pressing meta, but upon mouse clicking color is not selected, the cursor just dissapears and painting is impossible.


Even if no action is set, meta + click blocks mouse input

As of krita 4.2.9, cotrl (meta) does not block the interface, however it cannot be used for canvas actions.

macOS "Ctrl" is called "Meta" inside Krita

Upon further investigation it is not possible to remap Ctrl + LeftClick as it is used system wide to emulate "Right Click". This is not needed nowadays since all pointer devices from apple have 2 buttons, however the legacy accessibility function remains. This could be fixed, but it would require to filter with core system events and probably make a complex subsystem for it. As al alternative you could use "Ctrl + Right click"

On your side to make this work you would need to first disable Ctrl + Click to emulate right click through third party apps.
