SUMMARY Color Sampler on Alt + Left Button not work when switching layers or pressing alt several times For Ctrl + Left Button it works. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Goto Configure Krita -> Canvas input settings -> Alternate Invocation 2. Change "Sample Foreground Color from Merged Image" to Alt + Left Button 3. Select different layer, move cursor to canvas and press alt to pick color right away(if you wait for a second and hold it works). 4. Press left mouse, or stylus to pick color. Or same as 1,2 3. Select Brush tool then press and hold alt several times on canvas (with random timing) 4. Press left mouse, or stylus to pick color. OBSERVED RESULT Sometimes it not switching to color sampler. Even locked to not able to switch to color sampler for next alt press. EXPECTED RESULT Switch to color sampler, and sample the color. In krita 4.4.5 it works well. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 Krita 5.0.0 git cd8ec92938 same for stable branch d76fe492bf
Hi, Andrei! Are you sure it worked before? Pressing Alt usually activates window menu, so Krita's canvas loses keyboard focus and cannot process keyboard events anymore. That was actually the reason why I gave up using Alt+Shift shortcut for switching languages :)

But in 4.4.5 all good. Im thinking about switching back to Ctrl for pick color, but when you zoom by Ctrl + Space sometimes you release Space while holding Ctrl and it switches to picker, and i pick some color but i dont want to :)
