Thank you!!! Finally someone takes the time to explain how to set up the express keys!! Even the smallest detail and going so far and letting us know we need the software to know what commands to put in!!
I've been using my XP Pen 22 without any express key/dial other than undo since I bought it 3 months ago. You've changed my life. Wherever, whenever... if you need me, just beckon and I'll gladly die defending you. -Art Adventures has acquired the summon spell IRIA!
Hi! I don't know if anu of you guys will see this comment but I will give it a try. I also gave a XP Pen 22 and it just doesn't save the configurations. I use the latest drivers from the website. It just does not work. I wish you could inform me where you downloaded this version of the Pen Tablet driver. Sorry if my writing, not a nativa speaker and pretty desperate :s
Seriously, thank you. You're right, most tutorials skimp over this part. You've explained everything in detail and in a way that's easy to understand. Godsend.
Good video. The very first thing you should do, is add the application that you are configuring the express keys for. For example, I am currently assigning the buttons for Affinity Designer so I need to add that to the Applications list, make sure I've highlighted it, THEN start assigning the shortcuts to the buttons.
TYSM! I had NO idea that the drawing programme itself has its own default key customization. Also thank you for such a clear and concise explanation of how to customize and use express keys this tutorial is so useful! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
THANK U!!! I need all the help I can get with setting my Tablets up!!! Please do more!!! I'm at the whole thing in the Drawing Tablet setup. Please with saving the setting on each program!!! I will be watching all the videos!!! I've got to watch the video again!!! :)
Thank you SO MUCH! I have a very poor working memory and instructional stuff like setting up shortcut keys gives me so much dread and frustration...your video seriously helped me be less anxious and understand what I'm supposed to do. You're amazing, man! 💞
Great tutorial! I was able to make almost everything I wanted to happen, happen. But I still can't figure out the taskbar. I would be enormously grateful if you could share how to get the taskbar to pop up via the express keys.
Man, I'd like to know if you figured a way around setting 3 buttons shorcuts. I mean, everything's fine as long as you use the "crucial" keys (eg alt, shift, ctrl, etc) as the 3rd one, the input will show a + sign amongst the keys. But for when you want to go with one of the crucial keys plus 2 regular letters it won't really ultimately function in the program and the input changes to a comma between the last 2 input keys. I hope this is understandable enough to get the point across, I wrote this with my feet
Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you knew how to fix the problem of the pen not being accurate?? Like the cursor won't go to where the pen is, but instead stay's where it is. I can still draw, but it's just very slow, and not at all where I want it to be. (PS-I just got it today, so this is very distressing!!) -Thank you!
Great question, Dakota. There are a few reasons that this could be happening. The first thing I would say to do is to recalibrate your pen. When setting it up, it has you clicking the 5 points on the display tablet. If your pen is slightly tilted in any way, it could throw off the calibration of the pen. Second would be how many programs your computer is running while using your XP-Pen tablet and drawing software. (this could cause a delay, but not necessarily throw off the calibration of the pen.) Last would be is neither of those two help solve the problem, it could be a graphics card issue. Not a strong enough computer could cause a delay in the reactions you want to get from your pen/cursor. (again, this wouldn't solve the calibration, but the delay in the cursor.) I hope this helps. Let me know the results!
@@kodi9479 how? Did you follow those instructions? I’ve already done it but mine is still not accurate. I draw in one place, but it shows in a different place, and there’s not even lag, it’s just like that when I want to chose apps or options.
Thank you for this video it honestly helped a lot I just got my tablet and was lost as to how to set up the commands!! Do you think you can do a video explaining how to use sketckbook? I am new to the digital art world so some of the functions in sketchbook are hard for me to understand
Glad it helped! I will do my best to create a video on how to use Sketchbook. Being a teacher, I am in the final weeks of school, so it may take some time. Subscribe and stay tuned in to see when I can make a video like that. Have fun and enjoy!
My shortcut Keys aren't saving no matter what I do. I can customize a key to do a certain thing , but it just does whatever it's default was instead. Like, I changed K5 to be my undo and it's default is save...so it just saves
great tutorial! Do you know how to change the settings specifically for different applications? Such as if I want to use the XP pen for one note and then switch to sketch up or whiteboard. These shortcuts may be different for each application. I'd like to be able to switch to the different applications without having to reset up the shortcuts.
Hello sir! i just bought my xp pen artist 12 2nd gen! Should i first connect it to my pc and install the drivers? what i did was i connected it to my android with all the right cables and the screen of my xp pen says " no signal" please help :(
@Art Adventures I’m very grateful for the video you gave but I have a big question. What if I don’t have any short cuts to set it to? I use Ibis Paint X and it’s mainly a mobile app. The “short cuts” don’t seem to show for computer keyboard I I don’t have anything to switch it to. Is there I way I can make that happen?
Can someone please help me with the pen settings?? I’m not sure if I accidentally tweaked something in the pen settings but it’ll draw when I have my pen well away from the surface and I have no idea what the issue is 😵💫
I use photoshop and I'm trying to get the dile to rotate the image like it do for the zoom. I can get it to rotate but I have to hit enter whe the dialog box comes up. I want to draw with out rotating the tablet.
I need help with my tablet, it doesn't show when I am drawing like instead of it being on the monitor and on my tablet its just on the monitor and it doesn't let me calibrate it also when I see others draw they have a very slight delay while they draw and I rlly want that with mine but I'm not sure how to make it NOT instant and I also ran into an issue where it skips a chunk of the screen or it wouldn't draw, gave me a headache I wanted to chuck the tablet out the window I've had it for a few months but since I changed computers it isn't the same with my last computer the only issues I had were not being able to calibrate it also not being able to see on the monitor AND the table and I also never got the deley when drawing I'm new to all this and this is my first tablet I've been trying to google but I don't even know what to google if anyone can help me It would mean a lot, i haven't been able to draw at all bc it just annoys me everytime i get frustrated feel like i just wasted a shit load of money
Thank you!!! Finally someone takes the time to explain how to set up the express keys!! Even the smallest detail and going so far and letting us know we need the software to know what commands to put in!!
Absolutely! It's my pleasure! It took me a few trials. I'm glad that it was helpful for you!
