Using the Tablet Keys

Press the Tablet Keys with your secondary hand to toggle between tools or change tool properties while you
are using your primary hand to work with your pen on the Intuos3 tablet. The default settings were chosen
to optimize your workflow in Photoshop and other graphics applications, using the following modifier keys:
Button 1: C modifier key for Windows.
TRL
Button 2: S modifier key.
HIFT
Button 3: A modifier key for Windows.
LT
Button 4: S key (spacebar).

Tips:
• In Photoshop, pressing the spacebar (key 4 on your Intuos3 tablet) switches the
currently selected tool to the hand tool and lets you pan (move) the image within
the application window.
• In Photoshop and many other graphics applications, the A
modifier keys modify a tool or switch to a complementary tool while the modifier
key is pressed.
The Tablet Keys are fully customizable, enabling you to make the best possible use of them. You may want
to consider the following ways of working with the Tablet Keys:
• 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 Intuos3 Pen, then set a Tablet Key to right-
or double-click.
• Choose from any of the other available functions.
