That's Great. Is there a way for end users (count me as one :) to get a list
of those special ones without looking into the code? A "xsetwacom list
#something", "man xsetwacom", or examples at
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linuxwacom/index.php?title=Xsetwacom
would
be very helpful.

Can you add the UI information to
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linuxwacom/index.php?title=External_applications#Graphical_Configuration_Tools
so
people know what to do when they need to process keystrokes in their apps?
Thank you.
