SUMMARY
Various graphic tablets have a touch ring on one side along with the buttons. Artists use this ring to assign keys to this ring's touch rotation, for example a key is assigned to clockwise and another for counter clockwise touch rotation. This helps is getting more natural actions in dedicated application like brush reszies in krita, zoom in zoom out in image viewer or just scrolling on firefox.

Current kcm doesn't even list these rings and there is no way to assign shortcut for these.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect a tablet which has a touch ring in it
2. Go to tablet kcm under wayland and try to assign or change the shortcut for this.


I am also attaching a screenshot of earlier tablet kcm where this ring is shown and there are entries to change shortcut for this.
