USING EXPRESSKEYS
As you work with your pen on the display tablet surface, press an ExpressKey to toggle between tools
or change tool properties. You can work with the default settings, or choose from any of the other
available functions. The default settings were chosen to optimize your workflow in Photoshop and other
graphics applications, using the following modifier functions:
Button 1: CTRL modifier key for Windows. COMMAND (Apple key) for Macintosh.
Button 2: SHIFT modifier key.
Button 3: ALT modifier key for Windows. OPTION modifier key for Macintosh.
Button 4: SPACE key (spacebar).
The ExpressKeys are fully customizable, enabling you to make the best possible use of them. Here are
a few ideas on how you can use the ExpressKeys:
• 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 Grip Pen, then set a key to right- or
double-click.
• Choose from any of the other available functions.
• On multiple display systems only, set an ExpressKey or pen switch to DISPLAY TOGGLE. You can
then press that button to toggle the screen cursor between Cintiq and your other displays.
See the electronic Software User’s Manual for more details on the available key settings.
The ExpressKeys are chordable. For example, pressing keys 3 and 1 together simulates ALT+CTRL in Windows,
or
OPTION+COMMAND on Macintosh systems.
Tips:
• In Photoshop, pressing the spacebar (key 4 on your display 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
LT, CTRL, and SHIFT modifier keys modify a tool or
switch to a complementary tool while the modifier key is pressed.
