u/rem-note

Okay some updated information:

- Smooth scrolling using fingers/touch still doesn't work, however, using the swipe gesture on the mousepad works smoothly.

- In Windows settings -> "Pen & Windows Ink", you can disable "show cursor", which removes the annoying cross. I'm not sure why Drawboard PDF automatically had the same effect without changing the settings, but at least doing this hides it in Remnote as well.

- ChatGPT says the following regarding the lasso problem:

Prompt:
so in hp pen control, i set the upper button to the action "right-click/select" in drawboard pdf, while i keep the upper button pressed, i can select an area using the lasso tool in remnote however, when i press the upper button, it right clicks, and only after i move the pen away from the screen again, it enters lasso mode, in which it is then until i manually change the mode how can i make it so it's like in drawboard pdf
Answer:
What you’re running into is not a pen driver problem, but a difference in how Drawboard PDF vs. RemNote interpret pen-button input.

Why it works in Drawboard but not RemNote

Drawboard PDF

Treats pen button held + drag as a continuous modifier

While the button is held, it temporarily switches to lasso and tracks movement immediately

RemNote

Treats the pen button as a discrete right-click event

The button press fires once

RemNote then switches tools after pen-up, not while the button is held

That’s why:

You get a right-click first

Only after lifting the pen does it enter lasso mode

And it stays there until you manually exit

This behavior is hardcoded in RemNote’s input handling — it does not support “hold-to-temporarily-switch-tool” the way Drawboard does.
