Hello!

I recently purchased a Wacom intuos art for use in my creative endeavors. I absolutely love it, and have been having a lot of fun setting up express keys for different programs. But I’m not sure what to configure when I’m using my tablet for blender sculpting and texture painting. Does anyone here use a tablet, and how did you set up expresskeys/blender settings? I know that you can set left click as select, but that’s the only advice that I know of so far.

Very cool Kyle! One setting I often use with a tablet is Emulate 3 Button Mouse in the Input settings. That way you can use the pen to navigate really easily with the help of Alt, Alt+Ctrl, and Alt+Shift. I also like turning on the Pie Menus addon, though I use that with a mouse as well.

I only set a button on a pen as a middle click(choose one you comfortable with), other than that I leave it as default(or disable it).

Also, I position the tablet exactly the same as my mouse, so that I can use my keyboard alongside.

In case I want to zoom or pan a view, simply use combination of pen button and ctrl, shift respectively

I just started using my wacom intuos with blender 2.8 and I have not do anything. The lower button is configured as default as the MMB and you can rotate the working area by pressing it, just like with the mouse. It doesn’t have a scroll button but you can zoom just by pressing control and the lower button at the same time.
