Use the Pen Tool to use CTRL, ALT or SHIFT modifiers, HOVER RIGHT CLICK or keyboard shortcuts by pressing the stylus side button or Bluetooth button on your stylus while working in Photoshop, OneNote, Zbrush, Krita, Blender, Maya, Sai, Clip Studio Paint, Rebelle, Sketchbook, Blender, Leonardo, Expresii and many others by changing how the Pen works. Works great with Microsoft Surface Pro, Laptop Studio, Microsoft Surface devices *(NOT compatible with Surface Pro X)
The PEN tool has been incorporated into the STUDIO app. Please download our new app called Tablet Pro STUDIO here in the Microsoft store for new features like a Radial Menu, Voice Commands and greatly improved customization features.
STUDIO is the automation hub for the Tablet Pro TOUCH desktop software and can switch the Tablet Pro Artist Pad modes as well as the stylus behavior based on the program you have open. Note* - STUDIO is a utility app for the stylus and TOUCH functions
*New features update! -
NEW FEATURES are being added directly into the Tablet Pro STUDIO app. Please download the new app.
Advanced 3D program mouse combinations like Alt+Shift+Middle Mouse button now possible - great for Blender, Zbrush, Maya and other 3D programs that require complex mouse combinations for movement in Z space
"Quick input mode" - press and hold the bluetooth button to open the quick input mode or "ctrl+shift+\" and "ctrl+alt+\" will open the input panel per button. Click location can be used with keyboard shortcuts Alt + (Shift)+1-6
"Multiple *.ini presets per application preset" - use a keyword to create a drop down of presets to choose from per application (example - OneNote allows you to choose from a list of presets with the keyword "onenote" in it) Alt up, down and right allow you to navigate with the keyboard
"Tap to unlock" - This option let's you use modifiers in programs that have a conflicting setting. When you turn on this option the button will turn on the modifier until the pen is used. Tap the side button to turn on the modifier, use the pen, when the stylus tip is lifted the modifier will turn off.
"Auto Switching" - Automatically switch what the buttons do per the active program window. You can also LOCK the setting to keep auto switching from happening. In the LOCK state a single click on the Pen Tool icon will launch the current settings for the active (top most) window.
"Smart Modifiers" - Tap to use a modifier, hold the button to switch to the next modifier. The modifier will stay on until you use the stylus or for 2 seconds.
"Sticky Mods" - Like the Windows Accessibility feature that allows you to press one key at a time to perform hotkey combinations (not exactly the same) this feature turns on and off per application. It allows you to use touch gestures in combination like "ctrl" then "s" to save a file.
"Click Location" - In the input mode "Advanced" you can choose to click a location on the screen with the stylus side button. Click - and then drag from the "location" button to the desired screen location. It will map the side button to that location. Up to 6 locations can be mapped to a single button.
Super fast hover color picker for Photoshop and other programs that use Alt for color selection, choose "Alt + L click (H). We added an intelligent Screen capture tool that allows you to screen grab and paste with a single button. The Pen Tool now automatically can change what the pen/stylus does when a specific program is open. If you have a program that doesn't have a keyboard shortcut you can easily program the Pen Tool to click between 6 screen locations with a single button. (great for swapping back and forth between tools like a pencil and eraser or two types of brushes!)
Use ALT + 1,2,3,4 to click those locations when not using the pen.
