Assign keystrokes

You can assign keystrokes to customizable components of your device, like ExpressKeys and pen buttons. As a result, pressing a button on your device performs the specified function instead of pressing the keystroke on your keyboard. You can also assign a combination of keystrokes, so you only have to press one button instead of an entire keystroke combination.

1. Open Wacom Center.
2. In the Devices sidebar, select your device, then select one of your device's customizable components (ExpressKeys, for example).
3. In the main content area, select the button you wish to customize.
4. From the Action sidebar, select Keyboard then select Keystroke... to open the Keyboard shortcut window.

5. Enter a keystroke combination in the Keys box (Ctrl+Z, for example).
• You can enter letters, numbers, function keys (F2, F3, etc.), and modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, etc.). You can also choose pre-defined combinations from the Add special keys drop-down list.
• Click the Delete button to remove only the last keystroke you entered.
• Click the Clear button to remove all the keystrokes you entered so you can start over.
6. Enter a Name for your keystroke and click Apply.
• The name appears on On-screen shortcuts and in Settings view, so enter a name that indicates the keystroke you assigned.
• If you are assigning numbers to a Keypad, it is best practice to name the Keystroke the number that you assigned. For example, if you assign the number 8 to a Keypad button, name the Keystroke 8.
Note: If no Name is entered, the keystroke keys will display ({Ctrl}z, for example).
