If you'd like to put out an incentive for implementing this feature, you can do so at https://issuehunt.io/r/bk138/multivnc?tab=idle

Is your feature request about the Desktop Multivnc or the Mobile MultiVNC?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to use my S-Pen (Samsung Galaxy Tab S4) to write on Desktop over VNC. Writing works very good but it would be great to have the Button on the pen also available for Desktop. Ex. push the button and draw a stroke to erase sth. I am running xournal on my Desktop. Describe the solution you'd like

Hard to implement without the hardware, you know. What does xev on the remote end output when pressing that button?

I get the following output:

  1. Tab on screen with button pressed:

When releasing or pressing the button while moving on the screen, nothing changes but the coordinates. 
When pressing the button while hovering over the screen, the mousepointer stops following the pen.

I'm currently very busy, I will take a deeper look in a few weeks, sorry for that.

Looks like no button press events are sent at all.
