Press the ExpressKeys with your secondary hand to toggle between tools or change tool properties while

The ExpressKeys are fully customizable, enabling you to make the best possible use of them.  You may want 
to consider the following ways of working with the ExpressKeys:

•

Set a pair of keys to commonly used keystrokes, such as  [  and  ]  to decrease and increase your brush 
size in Photoshop.

•

Set a key to a commonly used keyboard shortcut in order to open files or start an application.

•

If you prefer not to (or cannot) use the side switches on your Intuos3 pen, then set a key to right- or 
double-click.

•

Choose from any of the other available functions.

See 

 for more details on the available key settings.

If you require different key functions in different applications, you can easily set up application-specific 
settings for the tablet controls.  See
