Photoshop Noob Question

I am trying to Paint in Photoshop and choose my colors with the Hotkey Alt.
Alt seems to only choose the Background Color and not the Foreground color.
So i am having to choose my color with Alt,then hit x to switch to the color i just chose.I have tried to search for help but i believe it’s just something stupid i am doing because i came up with no results.Can anyone help me with this.

Sorry for posting this here,but i wasn’t sure where or who else to ask…
Thanks as always…

If you have the Eyedropper tool selected then the background color will be picked. To pick the foreground color switch to the Brush tool.
