Not sure what exactly may be the problem here, a)shortcut + rigth click, b)right click along c)button on tablet as right click?

for a and b you need to check the Settigns > Configure Krita > Canvas Input Settings, there you need to look at the options provided under each component.

For mapping buttons on tablet, you would have to look into the tablet driver settings or your system settings.

It's ok about your english, I meant I don't know what actually is happening when you say that the right click doesn't work on the canvas thus: Are you expecting a menu when you right click? or the Popup Palette?

See, the right click in Krita on the canvas should open the Popup Palette if on a painting tool (like the free hand tool) or a context menu if on a vector/selection tool.

Or do you mean that the right click doesn't do anything at all on the canvas, did you check the settings I mentioned before? you can tell there if the correct action is assigned to the right click.

Also is useful if you mention your system (windows,mac or linux) your tablet (brand and model).

And by the way, you can state which is your native language, chances are someone here can help you with translating the explanation of your issue.

Okay, let me explain you haha. its about the palette. if i right click with the mouse it apears but if i right click with the shortcut of tablet doesnt work, and its so strange because this same shortcut right click works well on menus, for example, for delete or copy layers. Where can i check it on settings exactly? (sorry its hard for me search something on krita settins). And if you think this can do something: W10, Huion Inspiroy Q11K.

Thank you mate. I need to fix that because its so frustrating know that technicaly be popup the palette but it dont work and its a lot of time losed :C
Thank you hard for your help

Ok, I think I know what you mean now.

When you use your mouse everything works fine.
When you use your tablet, right clicking with your pen doesn't works on the canvas, only on the dockers/menu.

First. your huion tablet must have a software that let you see/modify the settings including the buttons of the tablet and the pen. This is not part of Krita, this applies to the way the tablet works in all your system.
There check that your pen buttons are set up to imitate the mouse buttons, normally the one of the two buttons in the pen is set to be the "right click".

Once you make sure your pen has a "right click", then check in Krita on the settings that the shortcut is correct:

You click on Settings then Configure Krita then the preferences window opens.
There click on Canvas Input Settings, will show you a list of actions and its shortcuts. look for the Show Popup Palette.
It will show you what shortcut is used, if correct it should say Right Button.

The window look like this

(colors and style may be different)

I'm suspecting that is either the Huion driver or its software that has a wrong configuration, but all of this is merely suggestions, I really don't know what may be happening there.

Well, its so frustrating, the right click button is registered and activated, but we are in the same point, dont work in canvas with shortcut tablet button, i gonna try to search a posible actualizaion of drivers but i dont think it will do something because it keep not working since day one :/

Hello, sorry to post new comment to this old thread but I meet the same problem with my Huion Tablet. It's quite strange : right clic works correctly for everything with tablet tools (buttons and pen button)…except for pop up palette (on the canvas). I can make it work if I right click on a window (Tool Options by example) then on canvas again. No problem with regular mouse.

I've just dealt with the same thing, but on Linux, and with XP-Pen DECO 01. The issue turned out to be drivers, adding a couple of config files into two folders, and to do as Quiralta has detailed above about making sure the shortcut is set up within Krita. Also I went to the tablet tester, in the same 'configure krita', and checked the box under the pressure graph, which says 'use mouse events for right- and middle- clicks'.

I realise you're not on Linux, but see you are using a Huion tablet. I used non-wacom tablets when on Windows, and it was always the driver that was the issue ... other installs, or updates, can mix things up, requiring a driver reinstall. Definitely I'd remove your current Huion drivers, and reinstall them, plus do the Krita configuration settings.

I should have come back here earlier. It seems that uninstall/reinstall drivers do the trick.

There is clearly a BUG.
[How to "SOLVE"]:
1-Settings--> Configure Kritta...--> Canvas Input Settings --> Pan Canvas --> Mouse Button
Change input by double-click on "Middle Button" and change it to "Right Button"
2--Settings--> Configure Kritta...--> Canvas Input Settings --> Show Popup Palette -->Mouse Button
Change input by double-click on "Right Button" and change it to "Middle Button"

Now STYLUS Right Click will work on canvas and show the Popup Palette. Also right click of stylus will work normally in the rest of the UI.
But MOUSE right and middle buttons will be inverted (only in canvas). This is why I said there is a bug.

@jbonora
Are you having a problem with your stylus right-click button on the canvas with the default Canvas Input settings?
Which version of krita, which operating system and which tablet are you using?

My stylus buttons both work normally and my correspnding mouse buttons both work normally.
Then if I do the Canvas Input swap over as you noted, both of the stylus buttons and both of the mouse buttons operate as I would expect - with swapped over action on the canvas only. i.e. stylus upper button does a pan action and the lower stylus button activates the popup palette.

Check the assignment of your stylus buttons in your tablet setup/configuration utility and/or updated the tablet drivers and restart your computer.

As noted in the posts above, this is a tablet driver or configuration problem.

@ahabgreybeard
All the configurations of the tablet and stylus are set to default. Drivers uninstalled, reinstalled and updated, computer restarted, tablet reconected.
I use Wacom One 13.1, Windows 10 and Krita 4.4.2 (if you need more details, please let me know)

As a way to see that (as far as I think) there might be some bug, when all settings in Krita are set to default, if I use stylus button in any part of the Krita UI (except canvas), it behaves exactly the same as right click with the mouse.
But when doing that in the canvas, expecting popup palette to appear, the canvas acts like if I where using middle button of the mouse (i.e. pan the canvas, rotate if pressed with Shift key, Zoom with Alt key, etc) Then I thought that doing that "swap" that I explained in my post would do the trick. And it did it. Now stylus click in the canvas pops the palette up, and doing stylus button click in other parts of the UI would behave as right-click of the mouse too.
Side problem is that middle and right Mouse Buttons inside canvas are inverted, but I don't use mouse in the canvas, so no problem for me.

Thanks for your concern.

B.R.

Edit: P.S. my stylus has only one button
