Scrolling with a WACOM tablet pen
I've got a wacom pen with a button. How can I trigger scrolling when moving the pen with the button pressed?
According to xev, below, the triggering events are MotionNotify with state 0x200.
If this isn't done trivially, an idea I have is to build a service to read these events from somewhere and transform them into other events. This way, I can define gestures, as well. With this approach:
- Where can I read them?
- How can I write events back?
- Are there libraries to detect gestures?

I ran into a much simpler variant of this problem: translating the extra keys on my mouse into keyboard/mouse-button combinations, to allow binding them in the window manager to move/resize windows. Perhaps my code can serve you as a starting point:
https://gist.github.com/CyberShadow/ae30a8d9f86c170c2451c3dd7edb649c
The gist of the idea is that it captures input events from my mouse's /dev/input/... device, optionally modifies them, and writes them back out to /dev/uinput.
