Hi!, Did you find something about the date where the dev team will add this feature?
I'm reaching out to the driver team to see where they are with adding the Tap and Click feature. I'll let you know what I find out.
It's early 2024, I hope this feature has been considered and I hope maybe it will be added in the first quarter of 2024. However, I would like to know if priority has been given since it's been like 2 years since this was suggested. Thanks
Very sorry, I do not have a time frame for when this feature will be added. It may be added in the first quarter of 2024.
Yeah, I wanted to ask for the estimate time aswell , I know its hard to tell but wanted to express our interest in this feature
That has been added to the feature list. The driver team will be looking at creating this functionality in the feature. At this time, I do not have a time estimate on when it will be added to the driver.
Just following up any updates on this feature
Those are all compelling arguments for having Click and Tap. I have let the driver team know that we have more customers that are interested in that feature.
Thanks for posting your thoughts and requests. This is exactly how we get new features added to the Setting panel!
I can definitely see the Click and Tap feature being a valuable addition to Xencelabs tablets, particularly for those of us working in Blender. While the Hover and Click feature is useful, it can be easy to accidentally drag a vertex or lose precision when moving an object. With Click and Tap, the accuracy is greatly improved, which is essential for 3D modeling and other tasks that require precise movements.
Additionally, selecting vertices in Blender would be much more efficient and accurate with this feature. I've also found that in sculpting mode, Hover and Click can cause issues with certain brushes, so Click and Tap would be a welcome alternative.
As someone who started using Blender with version 2.79 and prefers the old configuration for faster navigation and right-click select, I find that Hover can sometimes slow me down. However, with Click and Tap, I believe my speed and productivity would be greatly improved. Overall, I believe that the Click and Tap feature would be a significant improvement for Xencelabs tablets, especially for those of us working in Blender.
Exactly as shown at the screenshot above in the wacom tablet settings. Press the pen button and then tap the pen tip to the tablet do a right-click.
As I said before, this gives you more control when you tap the pen buttons. When I press the button and then tap the pen tip to the tablet, the pointer will be exactly where I want it, and will not move relative to the expected point at the moment I press the pen button.
In response to Mike above
How do you see using the Click and Tap feature?
Click and tap essentially makes the buttons on the pen modifier buttons. Hold the "right click" modifier button and Tap down on the pen.
(i am repeating myself i am sure)
Tapping down with the pen is a purposeful action. When the pen is down its actively doing something. When its up, we are using that movement to relocate the cursor to a new spot, then down again. The up and down movement of the pen on "paper" is what all the mouse-click (and key press) modifiers should cater to.
Currently with the Xencelabs driver, you have the Hover and Click. I can hover my pen nib over the Pen Tablet and press my lower pen button (Right Click) and the Customize settings dialog opens.
How do you see using the Click and Tap feature?
I really really think this should be a feature, I just sent a mail to the support team with this exact topic.
If it helps I link here a screenshot of wacoms configuration so you can see how they have handled this https://imgur.com/a/urf9vB4
I would like to repeat the message from my feature request email. I hope others will see it and perhaps join our discussion.
I would like to be able to change the mode for pressing the pen buttons. Wacom calls it "Click and tap" or "Press and hold".
The default is: Hold the pen tip close to the tablet and press the pen button to do a right click or other click function.
Possible change to: Press the pen button and tap the pen tip to the tablet to do right-click or other click function.
That means that it will only register a click from one of the pen buttons, once the pen is in contact with the surface of the tablet.
Using a tablet in this way allows me to have more control when I press the pen buttons. There is never a moment when I hold the pen tip close to the tablet, press the pen button and the pen goes out of range, interrupting the press at the most inconvenient moment. Worse and more often, when I press the button, the pointer moves relative to the expected point and I get a different result than I expected.
I need the pen button to be triggered when I tap the pen tip to the tablet to press and hold the right click or middle click.
If I run the Diagnostic Tool, the Pen Button Code displays a different value if I hold the pen button and if I hold the pen button and tap the pen tip to the tablet. Based on this, I assume the possibility of adding this feature.
In your reply email you said that you had sent my request to the driver team as a feature request and that they would have a chance to review it after new Pen Display 24 out the door. I think that the time has come for this.
Really looking forward to adding this feature. Because I sometimes have to use a Wacom tablet, I still can't get used to using a tablet without this feature. I don't think I'm the only one who has switched from a Wacom tablet and who needs to have this feature.
I am looking forward to this feature too

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.
