screens
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Plasma / Wayland session (this might also be the case in X11, I
haven't tried)
2. Use Wacom tablet with multiple monitors
3. Open System settings / Graphics Tablet and sigh deeply as you stare in
dismay at the available choices
OBSERVED RESULT
The only options available are "Follow active screen" and mapping to an
individual monitor.
"Follow active screen" means that to click on either screen the user must first
use another pointing device to click somewhere in the other screen to make it
active, and only then can they use the pen on that monitor. For applications
that span multiple monitors this is so klunky as to be almost entirely useless,
because the user will often be clicking back and forth all the time. Putting
down the pen and grabbing the mouse, then finding an inactive area of the
screen to click on before you can use the mouse is not a productive way to
spend your time.
EXPECTED RESULT
User can use tablet pen as pointing device across multiple screens, as is the
default mode in other desktop environments, and generic Mac / Windows shells.
