I have 3 problems with the color picker.

1. I like that you can drag on the color field to get a color picker. But you have to assign this color to the background/foreground color in addition. I don't see a shortcut for that. That creates a lot of mouse movement.

2. You can change with "I" to the color picker. But you only can change the currently selected color (background/foreground). In MS paint there is a neat little trick. You can use either the left/right button to chose whether it's foreground or background color. Is there something like that I Affinity?

3. Is there a way to temporarily switch to the color picker? I mostly need to pick a color and after that return to my last tool. I have to keep in mind to toggle the tool back by another press of "I". Would you could temporarily toggle the tool, e.g. by keeping "I" pressed longer than 500ms, it would be a big help. Is there a way to temporarily toggle in Affinity?

Nothing like that in Affinity that I know of but you can use a keyboard shortcut to toggle between selecting background & foreground color, so if the current one is not what you want the Color Picker to apply to, you can tap that key (by default the X key) to switch to the other one.
