       Artist pad, buttons not behaving as expected
       By: Passero Date: September 7, 2018, 2:23 am

       I'm looking to use tablet pro mainly for photoshop so when I
       load the default photoshop CC setting, I notice some of the
       buttons don't work as the shortcuts are not matching.
       For example the "Brushes" and "Color" button are mapped to F3
       and F6 but the default photoshop shortcuts aren't configured for
       that. It's easy to just add those shortcuts to PS so that's not
       a big issue.
       The bigger issue is that when I try to configure the artist pad
       buttons. For example I want to map smaller and larger brush
       shortcuts to a button. That is the [ and ] key however when I
       configure them in the layout editor, the key is ([ which sends (
       t o PS instead of [. Using Shift+([ doesn't work in PS.
       I know I can use the default frame where I can drag to change
       the size but I rather have the control of larger and smaller
       brush
       Another thing that doesn't seem to work properly is the Alt key
       for the eye dropper. I can't seem to make it behave in a
       consistent way. When I press the Alt button on the pad and hit a
       color, sometimes it selects the color but most of the time it
       just draws instead of selecting. I tried holding the button on
       the pad or be quick (within a second) but can't seem to get a
       consistent behavior out of it.
       I am using it on a Surface Pro 4

       I have problems with the buttons locking up ALL THE TIME, too.
       Especially the alt-key is annoying but it simply locks up (if
       you pay attention to how it behaves when it is not working is
       simply that it doesn't register being pressed at all, simple as
       that)
       In my opinion it is just programmed lously because if you have 2
       buttons for the same function ( ALT-key for example) when the
       first button stops working the second one would still work.
       So it has nothing to do with the system or hardware or anything
       else just that the program itself blocks the button from working
       correctly (does not register being pressed).
       reloading the artistPad helps here, too. So i put a button for
       reloading it on the artistPad, unfortunately that button locks
       up from time to time, too. And so that still does not really
       help.
       TabletPro tho actually nice is like it is now just annyoing to
       work with and i can not recommend anyone to buy it like that.
       Especially when you consider that the devs haven't posted
       anything in this forum for months now.
       For me it is useless like that. Every time i try it again i give
       up frustrated.
       I wonder is there anyone out there for whom the buttons never
       lock up?
       I have an lenovo yoga 730, and it happens all the time.
       I can't work for a minute without being interrupted by
       non-working buttons.
