Using the tools feels odd, as it would seem as if the tools won't be reacting to the usual commands, for instance, when drawing a shape, by taping on the tablet with the stylus and trying to drag that shape, won't have any effect, but doing so with the eraser (not configured in Inkscape) does, as Inkscape would register the tap as a left-mouse-click event. Another example of this is node editing: when pressing F2 to edit the nodes a drawn line, I don't seem able to move the nodes with the stiletto-like pointer, however taping anywhere on the stroke I can move that section of the stroke, and the nodes become anchors. Again by tap-dragging with the eraser, which is not configured, I can drag the nodes just as if I were using the mouse.
I noticed a keys section with 32 total keys which can be configured... How exactly do they work? What are they useful for?
Good question.
:-)
I think I've seen that first question brought up before. Of course, the best way to get it resolved would be to buy one of the developers the same tablet. ;-)
Lacking that... first try checking about existing bugs http://www.inkscape.org/report_bugs.php
(sometimes things are also in the RFE "feature request" area, what you're discussing does sound more like bugs).
Drat. No bugs like that I can find.
There are some interesting Google results on this... though it looks like getting some more detail as to OS and such might help.
