And the Ctrl and Shift keys now can be used for Windows object selection - press Ctrl and tap several icons in Windows Explorer, for instance, and all of the icons are selected together - and... if the Tablet offers another way to do drag-and-drop /copy/ of text as opposed to cut/paste, I've overlooked it. So now I can do that too. Great!

I suppose it's greedy (especially before we've been asked to pay) but in some such operations I'm now finding it counter-intuitive to move the pen back to Fitaly to turn Ctrl or Shift off. On a desktop PC, of course, you'd probably be holding the keys down with one hand while using the mouse, then you'd let go. But suppose Fitaly's shift keys switch themselves off somehow after this kind of use... perhaps an adjustable time-out interval, maybe based on the PC being idle as far as user input goes, for a few seconds? So you could select dozens of files one by one using the Ctrl trick, for instance, but Ctrl would switch itself off when you pause.

Maybe I can do this with the AutoHotkey script software...
if
(1) Ctrl is on, and
(2) The user has been idle for X seconds
then
- Simulate a tap on the location of Fitaly's Ctrl key, which is the only reasonable source on my Tablet of this state of affairs.
