Configuring the XpPen ACK05 Remote with Only Floss on GNU/Linux: My Investigati


SS on GNU/Linux: my investigation and workarounds. Here is my research on how to use and configure the XPPen ACK05 Remote using only Free Libre and Open Source drivers and software under GNU/Linux.

The ACK05 is also a tiny programmable keyboard in disguise, the Official User Manual (PDF) mention the device has a small memory to store the configuration. In addition, while shortcuts like Ctrl+O for opening files and Ctrl+N for creating new ones are standard, their non-frequent use in workflows raises questions about their necessity, since these actions are typically performed only once per artwork. And by that I mean storing a firmware directly in the flash memory of the micro controller and reprogram the default shortcut keys at root.
