sorry if this isnt the correct place to be asking this, but i cant figure it out. first, my set up: windows 10, wacom intuos pro medium. when you first open up rebelle, it tells me that the pen [b]buttons are customizable.[/b] in the settings, i cant seem to find anything where you can input any pen button controls. i tried to look in keyboard shortcuts, but since theyre for the keyboard, it doesnt seem to let me pick the pen buttons when i try. but i use the color picker as my rightclick/pen button in like [i]every other art program[/i] i use, so its very important to me to get this fixed. any ideas on what to do?

Hi [USER=81191]@smudgemud[/USER], The right-click is internally assigned to "Move canvas" in Rebelle, it may be causing problems when trying to set the pen button to other shortcuts. "Pick color" shortcut in Rebelle is by default "Alt" and "I". Try to assign these shortcuts to the pen button for Rebelle in the tablet's Preferences, it should work.

I don't know if you'll see this, but I had the same problem. I went into the Wacom Tablet Properties (which is software that comes with the tablet). (I pressed + at the right side of applications and chose Rebelle 7) I then changed my button from 'Right click' to 'Alt + Left click' (Which you do by pressing Keyboard -> Modifier, and I chose 'Left alt' and 'Left click') I hope this helps someone!

Edit: Only choose 'Alt', not 'Alt + Left click'. You have to click yourself. I can't edit my previous comment.

I've run into a new problem and I found a solution but it isn't good. Rebelle have assigned 'Right click' to Move Canvas and I haven't been able to disable this. I wish I could just set right click to color pick in Rebelle. It's possible in other softwares. For some reason my Tablet wants to use my general tablet settings and settings for Rebelle at the same time, so I move the canvas and color pick at the same time. However, if someone does get it working, you can disable having to click to pick the color, by going into preferences -> color -> 'Don't need to confirm Pick Color tool with the mouse button'. (I can't edit nor delete previous comments.)

The solution was to change my button setting to 'Alt' for both Rebelle and other programs'. It's not a good solution.
