Small Tablet Tips / Tricks

An important note: the settings dialog may be too big horizontally for a small android tablet screen. You can drag the top of the window to move it left/right/up/down to access the full window. This is especially important on Samsung Z Fold devices.

On a small tablet it can be wise to use the full screen canvas view and pop-up palette. This allows you to use the whole screen with your stylus and easily access different brushes and recently used colors. Note: the pop-up palette will show your favorite brushes by default and which brushes it shows, as well as how many to show, can be configured within the main Krita settings.

Multi-touch / Gestures

  • Two finger tap: activate pop-up palette
  • Three finger tap: toggle canvas only mode
  • Four finger drag: Undo
  • Four finger tap: redo

General Settings

  • general
    • window
      • disable HiDPI support
    • tools
      • tool options location: in toolbar
      • disable 'enable touch painting
    • misc (when krita starts)
      • show session manager
      • save session on exit
  • canvas input settings (use a non default profile / see above for saving fix)
    • look for any gestures/touch/pen stuff that needs removing

    • zoom canvas
      • set gesture to five finger tap

      • set toggle canvas mode to three finger tap

Things to consider

  • bug fix input profile settings: https://krita-artists.org/t/cannot-save-input-profile-does-not-persist-on-startup-on-android/55693/4
  • s pen click button is mouse middle click on galaxy fold devices
  • pop up palatte is quick settings (like sketchbook puck)
  • gestures in the config can likely do brush size up/dn and undo/redo
  • can tune brush settings shown via the pop up palatte ui
  • go through favorite brushes and set up to 10 ; these will show on the popup palatte
  • use portrait mode when editing brushes ; you need the height to see everything and you can use the top of the pop-up window to move it left/right for full access

External storage resources folder on Android

  • export/prep everything you want to keep (reuse desktop default resources dir if desired)
  • settings -> resources
  • use the ICON that pops the android folder selector
  • select the folder you want to use and grant storage permissions to it
  • save settings & quit krita
  • force stop krita in app settings
  • (ONLY IF REIMPORTING EXPORTS) - relaunch krita and import data
  • copy the resources dir you want to use to the selected folder
  • launch krita. this will take awhile and may look like its frozen
  • clear any warnings/errors
  • quit krita
  • force stop krita
  • relaunch and enjoy
