what I want to know, it's if is possible to set up Adobe Fresco so that I don't have to touch a button each time I want to use the eraser on my pen

Just use the eraser on the top of my pen directly

Is it possible?

The Eraser does not appear to work as an eraser without selecting the appropriate button. Even if you add Fresco as an Application (Wacom) and make sure the Eraser is set appropriately it doesn't work as expected in Fresco.

Hello!

I am assuming that you are using Fresco on Windows? Not on an IPad?
I cannot test with a pen eraser (as my tablet pen doesn't have an eraser) but I am able to use the buttons on my pen as an eraser (I just click on the side of my pen to activate the eraser). I don't have to touch anything else.
If you can confirm what you are using I will be able to advise if it's possible or now (If you have a relatively modern graphic tablet, it should be enabled using the settings as seen on mine):

Just in case, can you check your tablet settings (like the one I sent) and check if you can force assign the eraser button of your pen to the shortcut "E" (without the quotes)

That's the keyboard shortcut for the eraser.
What tablet brand do you have?

At least can you share a screenshot of your tablet panel?
