Wacom - my use of the side buttons

First and foremost, I would like to thank Mindflyer for posting the video and tips of making our workflow more efficient - which inspired me to explore the side buttons of the Wacom Intuos 3 a little bit more. Currently I am using a 9X12 in my office. If you are not using a Intuos 3, this might not apply to you, and go get one you.... Ok. I have diabled all the side buttons and even the touchpad becos they are getting in my way (depending on how you setup your wacom and your keybpard), and causing my canvas to zoom in and out by itself for no reason at all. After reading Mindflyer's post, I decided to give it a try again. You can see my latest setup - I use Keystrokes (B for brush and [ & ] for brush sizes) for my sidebuttons, turning them into Brush, and brush sizes, so I am free from reaching out with my left hand to the bracket keys which is a nuisance because they are so far far far away on my right. Well, let me know what you think!

workflow: Maxing your Wacom Tablet

Those who knows me will know that I love to explore and fiddle with my Macs and wacom. I highly recommend this video on how you can fully utilise your wacom tablet by setting up shortcuts for those side buttons. Very useful in Photoshop for zooming and calling up functions like change brush sizes or special menus. If you keep going to the top menu bar for something, setting up a shortcut to those side buttons will make your job flow easy. Please feel free to share your workflow or tips.
