SUMMARY The previous brush shortcut only works when the cursor is moving on an active canvas I made sure the custom shortcut had no conflicts, To test I used key '7' on the keyboard not the keypad. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. make or open a canvas 2. select a brush then select another brush so you can switch between them 3. move the cursor over the canvas 4. then without moving your mouse or tablet pen on the canvas use the previous brush shortcut 5. the brush does not switch to the previous one but the brushes docker shows the switch between the brushes 6. now keep the cursor moving on the canvas and use the previous brush shortcut 7. the shortcut works and the brushes change from one to the other as expected OBSERVED RESULT the previous brush shortcut only works when the cursor is moving on the active canvas However the brush switch is shown in the docker as expected EXPECTED RESULT the previous brush shortcut should work when the canvas is active and the cursor is moving or stationary.

I can confirm this for the Nov 13 4.4.3 alpha (git 23599b) appimage. It's noticeable with a mouse which is easy to keep perfectly still. With a hovering stylus, natural hand 'jitter' makes the change of brush preset seem immediate.
I cannot reproduce this in Krita 5.0 beta, is this still relevant?
I can reproduce this on the 5.0.0-beta1 appimage and the Sept 27 Nightly 5.1.0-prealpha (git 2a5cf5d) appimage. I used a mouse and kept it perfectly still while pressing the '?' shortcut. The brush outline did not change when '?' was pressed but the on-screen message, the status bar indicator and the Brush Preset and Brush Preset History dockers did show the change. Then, moving the mouse or a left-click caused the brush outline to update to the correct outline. As noted before, this does not happen for me with a stylus due to small and natural continuous hand movements.
Alright, I misunderstood the report, renaming to the precise problem (it also happens with any other shortcut to switch presets).
