Press individual keys to perform frequently used functions or keystrokes. ExpressKeys can also be used to modify your pen or other input tool properties as you work. The ExpressKeys can also be operated in combination with one another. For example, if you program one key to simulate the CTRL key and another to simulate an ALT keystroke, when you press both keys at the same time a CTRL+ALT is simulated.
