Switch between application specific shortcut sets using VEIKK graphics tablets

Here is a method to save multiple hotkey configurations:

The configuration file is specific to the tablet model you are using. In my case the file is called “VK1060.xml” located in “/usr/lib/vktablet/vktablet”.

Create as many folders as required for each application’s hotkey set. For example:

“/usr/lib/vktablet/conf/usr/Krita”
“/usr/lib/vktablet/conf/usr/Blender”
“/usr/lib/vktablet/conf/usr/Inkscape”

into each of these copy a “VK1060.xml” file which you edit to your requirements. For example to map hotkey 2 to CTRL+C


 </Key>
        <Key id="2" virtual="false">
            <Action type="key">Ctrl+C</Action>
        </Key>

That’s all there is to it! Import the hotkey file in Settings to activate it.

VEIKK is the only tablet manufacturer I have found that provide a stable linux driver (.deb file) which has a fully functional configuration app that runs in user-space.
