So I have been messing around with xsetwacom with my wacom and I would like to touch the pen to the tablet without it thinking I want a "left mouse button" being held down.
The reason for this is moving the pen without selecting means hovering over the tablet which can be imprecise. I want to use the first button on the pen to be a left mouse button.
I have a long list of parameters for xsetwacom but I am unsure of how to use the pen to navigate the tablet without selecting (while touching)



xsetwacom --list parameters

          You need to change settings of stylus buttons. Use xsetwacom list to find name of your stylus, in my case output of command is:



          Wacom Intuos S Pad pad              id: 15  type: PAD       
          Wacom Intuos S Pen stylus id: 16 type: STYLUS
          Wacom Intuos S Pen eraser id: 17 type: ERASER
          Wacom Intuos S Pen cursor id: 18 type: CURSOR


          Stylus is "Wacom Intuos S Pen stylus".



          DEVICE_STYLUS='Wacom Intuos S Pen stylus'
          xsetwacom set "$DEVICE_STYLUS" Button 1 "button +0" # nothing on touch
          xsetwacom set "$DEVICE_STYLUS" Button 2 "button +1" # left click on lower button
          xsetwacom set "$DEVICE_STYLUS" Button 3 "button +3" # right click on upper button


          That's it, Button 1 of stylus is touching of pad, not real button. Script above disables this action.
          Lower button is Button 2, assign left click to it.
          Upper button is Button 3, you may want to assign right click to it or something else.
          If you have more buttons you can assign additional actions to them. Note that pad buttons belong to pad device, not stylus.



          Settings of xsetwacom are not persisted after system reboot, so you may want to write small script and run it manually or automatically after boot.
          Reconnection of pad also resets settings to their defaults, you can play around and then reset.
          You can check all current settings of each device like this:



          xsetwacom -s get "$DEVICE_STYLUS" all


          It may be very helpful to check which options can be changed for concrete device. Note that some options may not work for your model.

                You need to change settings of stylus buttons. Use xsetwacom list to find name of your stylus, in my case output of command is:



                Wacom Intuos S Pad pad              id: 15  type: PAD       
                Wacom Intuos S Pen stylus id: 16 type: STYLUS
                Wacom Intuos S Pen eraser id: 17 type: ERASER
                Wacom Intuos S Pen cursor id: 18 type: CURSOR


                Stylus is "Wacom Intuos S Pen stylus".



                DEVICE_STYLUS='Wacom Intuos S Pen stylus'
                xsetwacom set "$DEVICE_STYLUS" Button 1 "button +0" # nothing on touch
                xsetwacom set "$DEVICE_STYLUS" Button 2 "button +1" # left click on lower button
                xsetwacom set "$DEVICE_STYLUS" Button 3 "button +3" # right click on upper button


                That's it, Button 1 of stylus is touching of pad, not real button. Script above disables this action.
                Lower button is Button 2, assign left click to it.
                Upper button is Button 3, you may want to assign right click to it or something else.
                If you have more buttons you can assign additional actions to them. Note that pad buttons belong to pad device, not stylus.



                Settings of xsetwacom are not persisted after system reboot, so you may want to write small script and run it manually or automatically after boot.
                Reconnection of pad also resets settings to their defaults, you can play around and then reset.
                You can check all current settings of each device like this:



                xsetwacom -s get "$DEVICE_STYLUS" all


                It may be very helpful to check which options can be changed for concrete device. Note that some options may not work for your model.
