Customizing the pointer device buttons

You can change the functions of the buttons on your tablet pointer device (digitizer puck) with the setButton command. The default functions of the buttons differ depending on your particular digitizer. Refer to your hardware documentation for information.

The majority of digitizer users have either a 4-button puck or a 16-button puck.
