Hold and Tap for right click

I always preferred the way Wacom had an option "hold and tap" to produce a right click. This would be helpful for those of us that use mouse gestures as the current "click" and drag the stylus button kind of freaks the mouse gesture reader out.

Sorry, I was out of town on Xencelabs business, and your post is approved now ...


We are so close to adding this feature. It is my understanding that it will be in the next driver release. I know it has been a long time in the works, and I would like to thank everyone for your patience's. 


Just a little bit longer.

You are wanting to have your nib on the tablet and then press the pen button for right-click, and as long as you aer pressing the button the nib will now perform a right-click.

With the beta version 1.3.2-61-RC, tablet usage is finally broken. The right mouse button is pressed first at the moment of pressing the button, while the pen has not yet touched the tablet. Then at the moment when the pen touches the tablet, the right mouse button is pressed again. And then the press occurs for the third time when you release the button.

I'm reaching out to the driver team to get an update on this. I know they are looking at several features that are around the Hold and Tap for right-click that are being looked at being implemented at the same time.

The driver team is still working on this and some other related features. The reason for this taking so long is the UI.UA interface design and working through how to integrate it into our Settings panel. I’m hoping for a release in the first quarter of 2025.

Hi!, I wanted to ask if there was any news related to this feature

I wonder if this is possible or not, it's been extended again :(

Yes, I suppose it was overlooked, not on purpose or by design, but by chance. And that is where this community comes to the rescue! You let us know what we missed, and Xencelabs will do our best to added and or fix it.


We are not perfect, but we do try very hard to meet the needs of our artist community.

I've sent several responses in this conversation the last 2 weeks that do not appear. I don't understand if I'm not being aproved (didn't say anything mean or offensive) or what could be happening



Here was the response from Customer care


Hello Wilson,

Sorry for the inconvenience.


I have passed your feedback to the product manager and it seems like the driver team are working on other projects, so far they haven't implemented this feature. 


Okey, I've just seen your video again to make sure and I can confirm you 100% without a shadow of doubt that this alt button that you are showing, while cool is not what we are asking for. I put a detailed comment yesterday explaining it but  for some reason didn't reach the thread, maybe there was a bug, idk


We want this to work with mouse clicks (middle and right click) not with alt. This means that when I press right cick (or middle click) the action will only trigger when while I'm pressing the button I hit the tablet with the nib, not while hovering (which is how currently is now).

I'll try to make a video this week explaining it but I highly encourage you to pick up a wacom tablet and try this option, youll instantly understand what we are looking for

The one shown in the video is close but not what we want , you don't need to hover for it to change, it only changes when the pen tip is touching the board, that's how the Click & tap works. So like key alt key you assigned, it works in hover, it should only work when the pen tip is on the board, meaning the tip of pen has completely changed from click to alt whiles on the board.

my post wasn't approved I guess

I've changed the screenshot because I've just realized that could be confusing since the option selected is not the option that we want, heres is the the newer version

For the record, I absolutely think that this tablet is worth the transition from Wacom. While I cannot speak to the display version (I wish I had that kind of discretionary funds), the tablet is built better, feels better, and you get more for the money.

I would give the devs a pass in the short term about "click and tap", but if this is a long term issue, I would start wondering why that cant happen. I have been "click and tapping" with wacom since the late 90's. So the idea of this functionality has been around for at least 20 years.
