Check out the controls on the Decal Brush Modes page.
Watch this video for how to use Decal Brush. There is a display on the bottom left showing mouse and keys being used.
The Epic blueprint scriptable tools framework only allows for the use of the mouse Left Click and the following modifiers: Ctrl, Shift and Alt.

Alternatively you can use Pick Material mode to replace your current material. Simply press Alt to toggle on the mode, and click on any decal in the viewport.
