or change tool properties. You can work with the default settings, or choose from any of the other
available functions. The default settings were chosen to optimize your workflow in Photoshop and other
graphics applications using the following modifier functions:
Button 1:
C
TRL
modifier key for Windows.

(Apple key) for Macintosh.
Button 2:

press that button to toggle the screen cursor between Cintiq and your other displays.

•
In Photoshop and many other graphics applications, the A

or switch to a complementary tool while the modifier key is pressed.
•
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, or 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.
See the electronic Software User’s Manual for details on the available key settings.
