so, i just found out that if i assign shortcuts to stylus buttons in opentabletdriver, like first button to mouse middel click (to scroll) and second button to mouse right click, it also works in rnote, but the shortcuts assigned inside rnote don't work

@rheesus Hey, there, I am having the same problem right now. I am using a Huion HS64 in Windows 11, and similar to you, when I go into the official Huion app and map my tablet and pen keys there, inside RNote, those mappings are respected. But the one set in the settings of RNote Shortcuts do not work.

Have you found any solution to this of any sort yet?

@SaiShubham624 in linux the solution seems to be using the default wacom drivers (not opentabletdriver) that comes built in the linux kernel
