I had a lot of trouble trying to configure the buttons on my wacom tablet on a manjaro installation.

I ended up using this answer to actually get it working, but it only worked some of the time because the stylus and pen IDs would sometimes change when I plugged the tablet in again.

Here are the contents of the shell script that actually changes the button settings:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

sleep 1 export XAUTHORITY=/home/mashpoe/.Xauthority export DISPLAY=:0

the IDs will randomly change so the next commands won't work

sets button 3 for the stylus

xsetwacom set 15 Button 3 "key e"

sets each button for the pad

xsetwacom set 16 Button 1 "key +ctrl z -ctrl" xsetwacom set 16 Button 2 "key +ctrl +shift z -ctrl -shift" xsetwacom set 16 Button 3 "key +ctrl - -ctrl" xsetwacom set 16 Button 8 "key +ctrl +shift + -ctrl -shift"

For future readers, this works.

xsetwacom --set "Wacom One by Wacom M Pen stylus" TabletPCButton on
0

I ended up fixing the issue by parsing the output of xsetwacom list devices to get the correct IDs:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

sleep 1 export XAUTHORITY=/home/mashpoe/.Xauthority export DISPLAY=:0

parse_result(){ local id

while read line; do if [[ "${line}" =~ ([[:digit:]]+) ]]; then id="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}" if [[ "${line}" =~ STYLUS$ ]]; then # this runs if the ID is a stylus xsetwacom set "$id" Button 3 "key e" elif [[ "${line}" =~ PAD$ ]]; then # this runs if the ID is a pad xsetwacom set "$id" Button 1 "key +ctrl z -ctrl" xsetwacom set "$id" Button 2 "key +ctrl +shift z -ctrl -shift" xsetwacom set "$id" Button 3 "key +ctrl - -ctrl" xsetwacom set "$id" Button 8 "key +ctrl +shift + -ctrl -shift" fi fi done }

parse_result < <(xsetwacom list devices)
