Display Toggle

Display Toggle

Display Toggle is available when working on multiple monitor systems. This feature allows you to work with your tablet on all displays or on one display at a time. See Working with multiple monitors.

In the Wacom Tablet control panel, the Display Toggle tab is automatically available when your pen tablet is installed on a multi-monitor system. This tab lets you set which monitor(s) will be included in the toggle sequence.

After setting an ExpressKey or pen side switch to Display Toggle, you can use it to toggle the current tablet mapping between a base mapping (the current setting from the Mapping tab) and other monitors. See Mapping tab. The display options are:

  • The entire display area of a multi-monitor system is set up for extended mode and assigned to the active area of the pen tablet.
  • The Display Toggle function has been assigned to toggle the tablet mapping to the next display in sequence.

Display Toggle

All monitors are selected in the toggle sequence by default. Uncheck any monitor you want removed from the sequence. When you toggle to another monitor, the active tablet area is mapped to that monitor (in pen mode). Toggling once more after the last selected monitor returns the system to the base mapping.

The base mapping is the tablet and display mapping defined in the Mapping tab. By default, this includes all monitors unless you have defined one monitor as your primary monitor.

Important: When using application-specific settings with Display Toggle, be sure that each customized application in the Application list (including All Other) has a tool button or ExpressKey assigned to Display Toggle.

Any of the following actions will return the toggle sequence to the base mapping:
  • Launching a graphics application that supports pressure sensitivity.
  • Logging out of or rebooting the system.
  • Switching users (Fast User Switching).
  • Placing the system in sleep mode.
  • Changing the Mapping or Display Toggle settings.
  • Changing the resolution or number of displays on your system.
  • Using the Mode Toggle... function.
  • Selecting Pen Mode or Mouse Mode from the Radial Menu.
Tip:  To toggle between monitors without including the full display option, disable the first display on the Display Toggle tab. Then go to the Mapping tab and set the current Screen Area to the first display.
