Tips:
On multiple display systems only, set an ExpressKey or pen switch to D
then press that button to toggle the screen cursor between Cintiq and your other displays.
Press button 4 on your pen display to use the pen to pan (move) the image within the active

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.
