Any way to have a key on an Intuos tablet that, when pressed down, lets you rotate the canvas in Painter IX by dragging with the pen? I know the keyboard shortcut for that is space+alt on windows, but you can't bind that to a keystroke in Wacom control panel... Could bind alt-space, but that conflicts with a Windows shortcut and is thus unuseable. Could also just bind 'e', but then I'd have to switch back to the brush tool after each use... Any ideas?

Edit: Sorry I misread your post.

Don't know how to do that. Perhaps you can use Autohotkey to do that. I just use the keyboard. Since my hand is always on ctrl-alt (resizing brush)

Why is using E such a bad thing? I find it hard to press the shortcut and click/move the mouse anyway, so using a toggled control instead of a push control is rather easy to use. Maybe just get used to it?

Well, mainly it's a bad thing because I try to keep all the essential shortcuts mapped to the Intuos buttons, and the buttons on the left side are much more convenient to use than the ones on the right, since I always have my left thumb on them anyway. There are only so many buttons though, so I have B bound to a button on the right side, and it is just a bit cumbersome to move my hand that much each time I need to rotate and then switch back to brush... (I don't use the keyboard much, as I prefer to sit a bit further away from my laptop.)
