What software are you using with your XenceLabs tablet?

I would like to reach out to you and ask; What software are you using with your Xencelabs Tablet? 


The reason for this is simple, we are wanting to know what software you ae using so we can look at better ways to help you use that software with our line of tablets.  This would include possibly adding more Pre-Set buttons for specific functions in applications. 


We also know that there are thousands of art type applications out there, beyond the Adobe, Corel and Autodesk applications and would like to see what you are using them in your work to create your works of art.

I still have to use the keyboard for the arrows keys to move around. I either listen to music or audiobooks, youtube videos etc. I have to have some background noise lol. The quick keys are really helpful. The tablet area is bigger than my old wacom intuos. My goal was to be more ergonomic, I think the quick keys are helping with that. The bundle should come with a pen holder, I'm using my old wacom one.

Thanks for sharing this information. Are you OK if I create an FAQ using this and also share it in our Tip&Tricks and use your name?

 Many of the usual, like Photoshop and Lightroom, but more unusual are SketchUp, Layout and PowerCADD (10 Beta).  I'm having a couple issues with SketchUp and Layout.

You will need to discover what keyboard shortcuts are used to perform those actions. Some application make it very easy, and other make it almost impossible to set up short cuts for some of their actions.


I also look under File and Edit to see if a Shortcut menu is listed there that can be edited are accessed.

Do you use both the Pen Tablet and Quick Keys with that application? I would enjoy hearing about your workflow!

With Chrome I've settled on the following helpful actions for Chrome on my Mac:

  • New tab (CMD+N)
  • New Icognito window (CMD+SHIFT+N)
  • Close tab (CMD+W)
  • Re-open closed tab (CMD+SHIFT+T)
  • Paste & go - (CMD+L, CMD+V, CTRL+ENTER)

That last one is probably the most useful for me but caused the most trouble. It seemed to require two presses on the Quick Key to work as expected. After some experimenting I found that adding an inconsequential CTRL in there with the ENTER command got it to perform the expected action in a single press. Imperfect but good enough.

I use a tablet as part of my design workflow. Specifically, any illustration and layout work. Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender, and Asprite mostly. I switch off tablet and mouse when I am working in InDesign.

Thanks - 

Yes, that's fine with me.

I'm trying to set mine up firstly with Lightroom and Photoshop. I can see me using it with Chrome too.

Thanks for posting the application you are using. The Driver team keeps an eye on this to see what application presets should be added to the driver.
