I've recently bought a Gaomon M106K graphics tablet and it runs fine in Ubuntu 20.04 out of the box, without any drivers, in Krita and Blender. But i don't know how to configure the keys on the tablet and the pen. I cannot assign the keys in Krita's keymap, so i guess there are no keys mapped by default.
The guides i found are mentioning xsetwacom to configure the keys, but "xsetwacom --list devices" doesn't return anything. Neither does the Wacom panel in the system settings.
"sudo evtest" lists both the tablet and the pen and reports all events. But i don't know which tool i could use to map these events to keypresses.
Could someone help me? Thanks in advance.

I have a Gaomon m10 in Ubuntu 20.04 and I use the Digimend drivers.
To configure the buttons, use xsetwacom from the driver that is installed with digimend.
To find out if you are using that controller, with the tablet connected, open a terminal and type xsetwacom list.
Something like this should come out:
GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pen stylus id: 8 type: STYLUS
GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pad pad id: 9 type: PADIf so, you can configure the buttons using xsetwacom in terminal, but GNOME will only keep it for the session and it will be lost when turning off the PC.
To solve this, you can make a script and place it at startup to configure it on every power up of the PC.
This is the script I made:
!/bin/sh
pad
xsetwacom set "GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pad pad" button 1 key Ctrl Shift I
xsetwacom set "GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pad pad" button 2 key Ctrl Shift A
xsetwacom set "GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pad pad" button 3 key Ctrl A
xsetwacom set "GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pad pad" button 8 key Ctrl N
xsetwacom set "GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pad pad" button 9 key Ctrl Z
xsetwacom set "GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pad pad" button 10 key Ctrl X
xsetwacom set "GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pad pad" button 11 key Ctrl C
xsetwacom set "GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pad pad" button 12 key Ctrl V
xsetwacom set "GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pad pad" button 13 key Ctrl E
xsetwacom set "GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pad pad" button 14 key Ctrl Shift E
xsetwacom set "GAOMON Gaomon Tablet Pad pad" button 15 key Ctrl Y
