            Bug ID: 506729
           Summary: Modifier key doesn't work with graphics tablet
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
      Version First unspecified
       Reported In:
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: monorail_unadorned989 at simplelogin.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Can't drag, resize, etc windows using the modifier key with a tablet, like with
a mouse

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hold the modifier key (usually Alt or Super)
2. Drag the window using left mouse button, resize using right mouse button
3. Try the same thing using a graphics tablet

OBSERVED RESULT
The clicks are passed as if the modifier key isn't being held

EXPECTED RESULT
The modifier key should modify the actions a pen does, as it already happens
using a mouse

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.15.4-200.fc42.x86_64/6.4.1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you remap the pen buttons in System settings to be "Middle mouse button" and
"Right mouse button" they  start working as they should, but you can't remap
the action for drawing to left mouse button (and you wouldn't want to because
you'd lose pressure sensitivity) so you can trigger Modifier+RMB or
Modifier+MMB actions with these settings but not Modifier+LMB
