Question

Is there an Eyedropper Tool shortcut for Microsoft surface pro pen?

I like to paint digitally in Photoshop but it would improve my workflow so much if there was a way I could eyedrop colours straight from the pen as I am drawing so I don't have to press 'alt' all the time (and so I can detach the keyboard from my surface pro - would just be so much more comfortable!). 

Is there a way I can change the button on the pen to be the eyedropper tool? 

Thanks

Photoshop Modifier key Palette lets you use the Photoshop Brush Alt key Eye Dropper Shortcut key via on display touch. Check your Photoshop preferences modifier palette setting.   I forget what I can set my surface Pro 3 pen button to. I use my Wacom tablet with my surface I can use wacom software to set a pen button or tablet button to Alt.  I believe you use Microsoft Hub to configure a surface pen check out Microsoft Pen software.   There a Pen tool app in microsoft store.
