Description Jan Bidler 2025-10-12 20:53:29 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have a few applications that I want to set specific tablet-keybinds for. Currently I can't do that and have to do the workaround of:
- Go to systemsettings and change the keybind from "pass to application" to my desired bind
- Use application foo
- Go back to systemsettings and change the keybind back to "pass to application".

It'd be nice if I could set a specific "application foo" profile so that I don't have to constantly switch back and forth.

Comment 1 David Redondo 2025-10-13 08:22:30 UTC 
I think at this point applications should just handle tablet events themselves
Comment 2 Jan Bidler 2025-10-13 11:54:27 UTC 
David Redondo: Some applications are sadly limited in how they interact with tablet events. [RNote](https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.github.flxzt.rnote) for example only lets you change them to a list of curated actions. 
I would naively also assume that there are probably some legacy apps out there that would cause problems as well.
Comment 3 Joshua Goins 2025-11-27 21:58:49 UTC 
Right, it's a balance of how long we want to wait for apps to adopt their own keybinds. I personally am still in the wait camp, so this is not my priority at the moment.
Comment 4 Joshua Goins 2025-11-27 23:19:01 UTC 
Moving this to the other issue since this is also profile related.
