Hello Title in Large, yes native compatibility with such peripherals would be very cool for the next TVPaint version, however since it is possible to assign keyboard hotkeys to the stream deck, you can already access most tools by assigning them to keyboard keys, then to the Stream deck, even the ones from custom panels, since their names appear in the shortcut menu.
Of course. And I have maximised all the rooms for specific duties.
The practical issue I have though with a lot of the shortcut slots is the use of the
Ctrl button and the
Shift button which are both required to trigger a lot of the available custom shortcuts. When Ctrl is held down, regardless of whether it's part of a shortcut string or Ctrl on its own, if you interact with the screen the timeline will begin to "animate the stroke" in real-time as you touch the tablet. Start watching from 8:09/10:24 to see this in action.

This becomes a big problem with any hotkey share shares the Ctrl button input. Could there perhaps be a way to optionally disable this feature in the future to prevent destructively force-animating on my work? If the undo/redo hotkeys use the classic Ctrl+Z buttons for example, touching the canvas sets off this unintentional problem.
Additionally with the Shift button, the interaction on screen can look somewhat dodgy due to the fact that shift is often treated as a ruler to get a perfect straight line from the last touched point to the next, it can create unwanted glitchy lines when you next animate. This tends to be common when painting. For example I use the shift+F4 to adjust the Luminosity bar in the colours, but this spasms every time I do this. See the image below for the example.

The ideal I assumed was that the bars of the colours can be changed flexibly while you continue painting, changing them and you go, somewhat like dabbing and mixing paints.
If not, again, could the straight line shift button mechanic be optionally disabled too?
I know that a work around can be to assign such buttons to all but the Ctrl and Shifts, but in all honesty close to three quarters of the shortcut slots use these buttons to trigger.
As this is a Improvements Requests section, could there possibly be an option to scrub zoom via holding a single button shortcut as an alternative to the present Alt+Right Click? Only because I'm a single button kind of guy - using my programmable keyboard to have a single button made as the right click button!
When doing this my pen doesn't need to make contact with the screen and I somewhat levitate my eraser function on my animations, which is far more swift and fluid that using pressure with the stylus fingers. Sort of like an airbrush without any tension.
Thank you for your time!
