SUMMARY
Some most popular tablets have the ability to switch modes of the touch ring or
the touch strip. Bassed on the mode the shortcut assigned to the touch ring
changes so that use can choose which shortcut to use depending on the
situation. For example in mode 1 user can have zoom in and zoom out shortcuts
mapped to the touch ring and in mode 2 they can have shortcut to resize the
brush.
This helps the artists to quickly utilise multiple shortcuts in the same touch
ring without the need to take away the hand from the tablet.
Libinput too supports this. here is the documentation for it -
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/tablet-support.html#tablet-pad-modes
If you want to read more here is the description page of the touch ring on
wacom website. - https://101.wacom.com/UserHelp/en/TouchRing.htm notice there
is a diagram showing 4 different modes shown by a led indicator besides the
touch ring.
