SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Krita > Settings > Configure Krita > Keyboard Shortcuts
2. Assign "Color Sampler" to a hot key
3. Sample a color

OBSERVED RESULT
You can select a color but afterwards it doesn't go back to your brush, so you are Stuck in color sampler mode until you hit a second shortcut for your brush. I have a drawing tablet and assigned this important shortcut to one of my pen buttons, But it will not be any help to me at all if I stay in color sampler mode and have to go back to drawing.

EXPECTED RESULT
^^^

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Hi, 
You are trying to assign the color sampler 'tool' and this one can't autoswitch back to the brush after picking. 

The behavior you are looking for exists: it is the color picker that appear while pressing Ctrl while painting and clicking.
 Just assign Ctrl to your pen buttons to get this one and paint at the same time. 
(or change the shortcut Ctrl+left if it is not your taste via Setting > Canvas Input Settings > Alternate invocation)

I'm marking the thread as Resolved → Not a bug.
