USING THE EXPRESSKEYS
As you work with your pen on the display tablet surface, press an ExpressKey to toggle between tools or change tool properties.

The default settings were chosen to optimize your workflow in Photoshop and other graphics applications using the following modifier functions:
Button 1: CTRL modifier key for Windows. COMMAND (Apple key) for Macintosh.
Button 2: SHIFT modifier key.
Button 3: ALT modifier key for Windows. OPTION modifier key for Macintosh.
Button 4: PAN/SCROLL function.
Button 5: DISPLAY TOGGLE. Available only on multiple display systems.
