Things You'll Need:
- Graphics tablet
- Mac OS Tiger
-
Step 1
Use Inkwell, an application native to Mac OS Tiger that permits you to use your graphics tablet like a mouse as well as a keyboard. You can find it at Apple.com (see Resources below).
-
Step 2
Learn the Inkwell shortcuts to maximize the effectiveness of your graphics tablet. The Inkwell shortcuts enable you to use specific strokes to perform keyboard functions (an upward curl, for example, is the equivalent of the Open-Apple+C command).
-
Step 3
Press and hold the stylus down on a file to emulate a click and drag. You can now move the file anywhere on the desktop, even into other folders.
-
Step 4
Double-tap on a file to open it.
-
Step 5
Single-tap on buttons and menu bar options to access them. You can also click and drag to move the highlighted field within a menu to a specific point in the drop-down menu, just like with a mouse.
-
Step 6
Use your stylus just like a pen in your favorite word-processing application. Inkwell will enable your graphics tablet input to be translated into visible text on the screen.
-
Step 7
Open your favorite drawing or photo editing application and just get started! Inkwell and your graphics tablet will allow you to draw whatever you wish while also continuing to provide you with keyboard and mouse functionality.
