ctrl+shift+0 doesn't work

Hi. I'm trying to set up a button on my tablet (Intuos S CTL-4100) to toggle between the brush and eraser tools in an art program using a hotkey program bound to ctrl+shift+0 (I downloaded it from online so i can't change the shortcut myself). In order to have the tablet button switch between them, I need to have it set to ctrl+shift+0, which the Wacom tablet properties' "define keystroke" window can't recognize. I know this isn't a problem with my language input settings because I was able to change them and use the hotkey with my keyboard, as well as program a button on my mouse to ctrl+shift+0.

tldr: please add support for ctrl+shift+0 or {Ctrl}{Shift})  in the define keystroke window

  Hi, 

  Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure if this will be possible to execute but I have shared this with the driver team.

  Are Ctrl+Shift shortcuts limited to Windows? I tried two programs, and they don’t accept this combination either. But I’ve an idea you could try:

  • Export your settings
  • Open the wacompref-File and edit your command to
    <Keystroke type="kestring"><![CDATA[&control;&shift;0]]></Keystroke>
  • Import the changed settings and try

  Or: Install Microsoft Power Toys and use the Keyboard Manager to remap a shortcut to the one you need.

  Similar: You can't use Ctrl+Space with the Settings-GUI, but I could change the 5-Finger-Touch-Gesture for the new Power Toy "Peek".

  <Gesture5FTapAndHold type="map">
                <commandData type="string">&amp;control;&amp;space;</commandData>
                <commandDisplayName type="string">Peek</commandDisplayName>
                <commandID type="integer">8</commandID>
  </Gesture5FTapAndHold>

  Thank you, Manuel Haruta! Your method of editing the wacompref file worked for me. Just in case, here is the complete solution:

  1. In Wacom Tablet Properties, create your initial shortcut (e.g. by pressing Shift+0 and then Ctrl+0), and give it a name. E.g. ("Ugochi Eraser Brush Eyedropper")
  2. Run C:\Program Files\Tablet\Wacom\PrefUtil.exe
  3. Click "Backup.." and save your wacompref file.
  4. Open this file in Notepad, find the shortcut by name you set earlier, and change its value to this:
    <Keystroke type="kestring"><![CDATA[&control;&shift;0]]></Keystroke>
  5. Save the wacompref file.
  6. In PrefUtil, click "Restore..." and select the modified file.
