Bug ID: 477898
Summary: Ability to switch to relative mode for graphic tablet
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_tablet
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Tablets are by default operated under absolute mode where the point on the
tablet is mapped to the point on the screen. There is one more mode where the
tablets behaves like a mouse. It is called relative mode. In this mode the
point on the tablet is not matched to the point on the screen, if you lift the
pen and start from a different position the cursor will continue to move from
the existing position. This is like how touchpads work.
Some artists like to use this mode. Wacom calls this the mouse mode in their
tablet settings application on Microsoft windows.
You can also check the gnome documentation for this feature to better
understand it -
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/wacom-mode.html.en
This mode was present in the wacom tablet kcm in X11 due to the switch to
wayland, this feature is not implemented in the new kcm. To bring graphic
tablet experience on wayland on par to X11, I request this mode to added back
the new tablet kcm.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open tablet kcm on wayland and try to set the relative mode for the tablet
