I should note that currently the text gets bold when we press the button on the tablet so this helps in knowing which button is which but a layout would be good in addition to this. This makes sense, I also don't like the layout of the page (and my tablet has 20 buttons, which is all laid out vertically...) Calling them pen buttons makes much more sense to me IMO, that's an easy change. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/1971 Git commit 446d40371474996b82cc8995d4c36d4ede0f5240 by Joshua Goins. Committed on 12/01/2024 at 01:42. Pushed by redstrate into branch 'master'. kcms/tablet: Buttons should be called "pen buttons" The name "tool button" is an underlying technical name and it's much clearer when it's referred to as pen buttons.
