Colour Picker not working when Keyboard/Mouse linked through SideCar to MacBook


Recommended Posts

Hi

I use my MacBook keyboard to use shortcuts for drawing in Affinity Photo on iPad. 
When using the keyboard stroke "I" to switch to the colour picker the cursor doesn't end pick up any new colours. Also doesn't work when I press the colour picker tool directly with my finger while still connected to the keyboard.
Will attached a screen record. 

iPad Pro 12.9 (6th Gen)
MacBook Pro 16" Intel i9 (Late 2019)

@BrainRoast Welcome to the forums.

When using a Magic keyboard on iPad, the shortcut for the Colour Picker (I) when picking a colour won't auto load the Brush. You have to expand the Colour studio and tap the picked colour fill to apply it. However it will if you long tap and pick when using the Brush Tool directly as part of the built in gestures.

I'd suggest taking your MacBook keyboard (using sidecar) out of your workflow to make sure the Colour Picker Tool and the gesture when using the Brush Tool is working as expected first. If not you can try resetting the app to defaults to see if that resolves the issue for you.

With the app fully closed, open and double tap the splash screen to show the Reset options. Leave the default on, you can also toggle Reset Tool Settings and then tap Reset.
