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

Also if that helps for other uses, here is a list of shortcuts I've put together. It helps if you want to use a keyboard (for whatever reason) with your Fresco, or if you plan to use Fresco with a windows desktop machine. Because using Fresco on Desktop is awesome 🙂

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.
