They should indeed. However the libinput library is responsible for this; no KDE code ins involved in it. So I would recommend that you file a bug report here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues.

Thanks!

I filed a bug report there. Unfortunately it seems that there's no SW_TABLET_MODE event being triggered. It seems this is related to the kernel missing some drivers for this laptop. I searched the web and found that a lot of people also have some missing features with their MSI laptops....

Anyway, thanks Nate
