Here are a few ideas for using the ExpressKeys:

•Set a pair of keys to commonly used keystrokes, such as [ and ] to decrease and increase your brush size in Photoshop.

•Set a key to a commonly used keyboard shortcut in order to open files or start an application.

•If you prefer not to (or cannot) use the side switches on your Grip Pen, then set a key to right- or double-click.

•Choose from any of the other available functions.

Important: Some applications can override and control the ExpressKey functions. For details, see the

section on using applications integrated for tablet control in the Software User’s Manual.

USING THE TOUCH STRIPS

Slide your finger over the Touch Strip to quickly zoom in or out, scroll up or down, or perform other functions with your secondary hand while using your primary hand to work with the Grip Pen. You can also set each Touch Strip to issue custom keystrokes. For example, you might set a Touch Strip action to cycle through layers when working in Photoshop. The Touch Strips can be operated in three different ways:

•Standard operation: Slide your finger up or down to zoom, scroll, or issue an assigned keystroke function.

•Continuous operation: Press and hold your finger at either end of the Touch Strip to continuously scroll. This is useful for scrolling through long documents or web pages.

•Single step operation: Press and release your finger at either end of the Touch Strip to zoom, scroll, or issue the assigned keystroke function one step at a time.

Press and hold here for continuous operation, or press and release for single step operation.

Press the Touch Toggle button (located on front of unit) to toggle between four customizable Touch Strip functions. The left button toggles the left Touch Strip functions, and the right button toggles the right Touch strip.

As you toggle between settings, a corresponding status LED illuminates. Any disabled settings are skipped in the toggle sequence.

Tip: Press an ExpressKey set to the HELP function do display a diagram of the Cintiq ExpressKeys and Touch Strips, showing the current function settings for each control.
