dmenuWacom
This script is used to remap the texts of Wacom graphics tablets. It is based on ZSH and is not compatible with bash without making changes. There are ready-made profiles for some applications.

Community help will be needed to improve the program.
Install dependencies
Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S git dunst xf86-input-wacom xrandr
Gentoo
sudo emerge -av dev-vcs/git xf86-input-wacom xrandr
Install dmenu
git clone https://github.com/NF02/dmenu && cd dmenu && make && sudo make install
Warning: dunst is not a mandatory package, for the simple fact that if you already have a notification manager it will be totally useless.
The dmenu that is used in this script is the one present in my repository.

Profile model
It is a new feature and now it allows you to create profiles very quickly, obviously you
have to use the xsetwacom syntax but it is certainly more practical than having to
overwhelm the main script. Logically, the mode is apparently similar to the previous one
but much better refined.
#!/bin/env zsh
PAD=$1
button1="<++>"
button2="<++>"
button3="<++>"
button4="<++>"
xsetwacom set "$PAD" Button 1 key $button1 &&
xsetwacom set "$PAD" Button 2 key $button2 &&
xsetwacom set "$PAD" Button 3 key $button3 &&
xsetwacom set "$PAD" Button 8 key $button4
Obviously this is the basic model but you can also insert other instructions that can be useful to make everything more practical.
The format used for the profile files is .dmwa (dmenuwacom additions), to indicate that they are external files and this is done to recognize them against other script files present in the directory.
Warning: in the case of Emojis or special characters
In case st has a crash or does not display the fonts, install the libxft-bgra present in the AUR.
