"pan" only works if stylus in touch with tablet #284

Closed fliperama00 closed 2 years ago

fliperama00 commented 2 years ago

I have a CTL-472, and if "pan" is assigned to a button on the side of the pen, it only scrolls if the pen is in touch with the tablet, and nothing happens if I press the button while hovering the pen. Is that the intended behavior?

Did the button work without pen touching the tablet before you assigned "pan" to it?

From the man page, "dragging" triggers the "pan" action.

Yes, it did.

I know the manual says it only works when dragging, but I was expecting for it to scroll when dragging and pan when not dragging. If it's not supposed to do that, is there a way to implement this behavior?

Is there an use case that tip touching the tablet is unaccepted ?

Not a problem, but I think it is preferable, to keep consistency with the other pen button. For me, personally, I just want to have the option to pan or scroll with the same button.

Ok, that's good. Let's keep the feature as it was designed, until you or someone else has time to write a patch for it.
