Wacom Intuos Pro managing scripts

This is a set of scripts to set up and customize Wacom Intuos Pro tablets under

Linux/X11/udev.  These scripts work for my Wacom Intuos Pro M tablet. They can

require some modifications to work with other similar models.

Features:

* Interaction with KDE's (version 4 or 5) systemsettings module, which allows

  you to set up several tablet profiles. Each profile contains full set of

  bindings of tablet's "express buttons" and "express ring" to mouse or

  keyboard actions.

* Automatic switching of tablet profile depending on focused window. For

  example, you can automatically switch to Krita's profile when Krita is

  active. Two implementations are provided for this feature: one for KWin

  window manager and one for XMonad window manager.

* Support of Intuos Pro's feature of having up to 4 modes of "express ring"

  operations.  LEDs on the tablet are switched accordingly to selected mode.

  Two implementations are provided for this feature: one simple implementation

  as Shell scripts, and one more advanced implementation as Python script.

The set includes:

* udev directory:

  * 99-local.rules - Udev rules file, which runs wacom-setup.sh script when the

    tablet is attached.  Note that for models other than Intuos Pro M, you will

    need to change idProduct parameter.

  * wacom-setup.sh - Shell script which enables unpriviledged-user write access

    to the file under /sys/bus/usb/ hierarchy, which is responsible for

    toggling LEDs on the tablet (near the ring).

* kde5/ directory - KWin script to automatically switch tablet profiles when

  particular applications are focused. This kwin script works only with KDE 5.

* xmonad/ directory:

  * hswcmd - `wacom-daemon' Haskell library & `hswcmd' daemon, which can be used

    for automatic switching of tablet profiles, ring mode switching. Configured

    via yaml file. Can be used with lightweight X11 environments (without KDE/

    GNOME/etc). Uses libudev to detect tablet plugging events.

  * xmonad-wacom - XMonad module, which can automatically switch tablet profiles

    either via integration with KDE4/KDE5 systemsettings module via dbus or by

    using wacom-daemon library (compiling it into xmonad binary). Configured via

    xmonad config.

* python/ directory:

  * ring-mode.py - Python script which toggles tablet ring mode: 0 -> 1 -> 2 ->

    3 -> 0 ...  This script uses can manage separate set of ring modes for each

    of tablet profiles.

  * wacom-ring-modes.yaml - example of config file for ring-mode.py. To be put

    to ~/.config/wacom-ring-modes.yaml.

* shell/ directory:

  * wacom-switch-mode.sh - Shell script which toggles ring mode: 0 -> 1 -> 2 ->

    3 -> 0 ...  This script just toggles LED on the tablet and runs the next

    script.

  * wacom-ring-mode.sh - Shell scripts which assigns actions to tablet ring

    touches, according to selected mode. This script can switch only between 4

    predefined modes (bindings are hardcoded in the script). This script does

    not care of tablet profile currently selected.

* install.sh - sample script that installs files described above to their

  desired locations.
