I want to set my side button to pan the canvas when i hold it, is it somehow possible in Abobe Fresco?

If I wrote something incorrectly, sorry for my English 😅

Good to know then... Maybe it's time to send a feature request to Microsoft!

I am not familiar with the stylus function of a windows machine, but on my graphic tablet I can set up a shortcut for each of the button of my stylus. In that case I would need to link the button to the "space" shortcut (the space bar of the keyboard) as it's the shortcut to pan.

See if that helps

    I have not noticed anything for the side button of a pen in Fresco.

    Are you able to set specific tasks for specific apps within the Surface Pen's own app?

    I can set the top button to open a specific app (one press, double press, hold) in the Windows settings but nothing more.
