Spring loading hotkey feature issue

Hello Spring Loaded hotkey feature experts .

I'm a professional digital painter that works in Animation. I just got a new computer and I use the spring loaded Hockey feature all the time in Windows 10 for the eyedroper tool. I just need a very quick eyedroper selection to get a hue and value of a color then continue to paint in other tools. The issues is it doesn't seem to work very well with the smudge tool or the lasso tool. The spring loded feature springs back only sometimes or just permanently stays on the eyedropper tool. Since I need to move quickly not springing back to smuge or lasso destroys my workflow with only needing a quick sample of a hue and value of a color.  Please help me.
