Can I assign a function to the ENTER key?

I'm new to Paintstorm (only 1 day so far) and with my other art programs, I like to use a USB keypad as a shortcut device. Generally I assign the Erase feature to the ENTER button, but in Paintstorm, I can't seem to do this. Am I doing something wrong?

Better late than never...

With AutoHotkey app you can reassign whatever you want to in any software. You need download and install app from https://www.autohotkey.com/ (it is free), and create a script file with ".ahk" extension, for example "Paintstorm.ahk". In the script file you need to create commands that redirect one key to other. Here is my script:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe paintstorm.exe
CapsLock::Enter
Return

Fist line is restriction of function to Paintstorm only, than there is a command redirects "Enter" key to "CapsLock".
You may assign erase to "E" and than redirect it to "Enter".
