Tempted to Wacom
Sorry I posted this earlier today but forgot to click the 'question' button:
I am thinking of getting a Wacom tablet but have some big reservations, I'm hoping there are tablet users out there who can help me with their experience and workflow.
Biggest question is about using keyboard shortcuts when there's a tablet between you and your keyboard. I use LOTS of shortcuts very intuitively having done so for over a decade: z s x c v w j ; ' [ ] I can think of offhand, plus all the control/option/command/shift variants. Does this cause anyone grief? I mean the tablet has some programmable buttons...
Scrolling within an image: Say you zoom in (using the scroll wheel?) and want to 'pan' around, do you just hit 'h' and drag with the pen? Or do you use the pen to drag scrollbars? Normally I use the tiny track ball on my Mighty Mouse (or whatever Apple called it...) though that only works in two directions anymore, hence the shopping...
That's what I can think of just now. Thank you for your patience. Three hundred bucks is a chunk I'd rather not waste.
