Bug ID: 477898 Summary: Ability to switch to relative mode for graphic tablet Classification: Applications Product: systemsettings Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: kcm_tablet Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: ra...@raghukamath.com CC: aleix...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Tablets are by default operated under absolute mode where the point on the tablet is mapped to the point on the screen. There is one more mode where the tablets behaves like a mouse. It is called relative mode. In this mode the point on the tablet is not matched to the point on the screen, if you lift the pen and start from a different position the cursor will continue to move from the existing position. This is like how touchpads work. Some artists like to use this mode. Wacom calls this the mouse mode in their tablet settings application on Microsoft windows. You can also check the gnome documentation for this feature to better understand it - https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/wacom-mode.html.en This mode was present in the wacom tablet kcm in X11 due to the switch to wayland, this feature is not implemented in the new kcm. To bring graphic tablet experience on wayland on par to X11, I request this mode to added back the new tablet kcm. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open tablet kcm on wayland and try to set the relative mode for the tablet -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
