Feature request: Bind stylus button to eraser

[IntangibleMatter]

This app has been great for taking notes- I've been using it with a Wacom Intuos tablet, and I've only run into one issue: None of the stylus buttons are bound to 'erase'.

For a note-taking app, this seems odd. Right-click (Which seems natural for erase) is used for select instead, which can work like erase, but it more clunky when you just need to remove a stray line. It would be nice to be able to assign a button on the stylus (or better yet, have it as default) to 'erase'.

Currently I have two buttons set (system-wide) to change between pen and erase, but needing to use my other hand, and stopping my focus on the stylus feels odd and breaks the 'flow'. Being able to assign a stylus button to 'erase' would be greatly useful.

I support the message above.

I think the issue here is that on Linux, unlike on Windows, you cannot assign a side button to be the "eraser" button. On Windows devices this is possible (usually through the pen manufacturer's dedicated app), but for Linux this is complicated.
The right button has been applied to selection instead of the eraser because Scrivano assumes that the pen has a dedicated eraser button, but perhaps it's worth rethinking this approach.

I think it makes sense for the inputs to be rebindable as a whole. Perhaps in the settings there's a list of buttons that are expected to be on the tablet/stylus, and you can select which button does what through that menu. I suspect that would be a lot of work, though.

@IntangibleMatter - OpenTabletDriver DOES IN FACT solve that issue for you. You can assign the letter "E" (eraser) to one of your pen buttons. I use it on my Huion Kamvas.
