(In)Ability to wire graphic tablet stylus buttons in hyprland.lua keybinds section.

Is this a regression?

No

What's the bug?

I seem to be unable to put in stylus inputs as they are not defined as a bind syntax(?).

For example look at this over here:
-- Move/resize windows with mainMod + LMB/RMB and dragging
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + mouse:272", hl.dsp.window.drag(), { mouse = true })
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + mouse:273", hl.dsp.window.resize(), { mouse = true })

I wish to be able to resize and move windows via stylus buttons as well. I got two here that I could utilize.

I have a Huion H430P working through kernel/libinput stack(?) (not proprietary huion driver or opentabletdriver)

Tablets:

This is the output of libinput debug-events

 event20  TABLET_TOOL_BUTTON           +0.310s  s331 (BTN_STYLUS) pressed, seat count: 1

I attempt to put in the input I read here and there is no error but it does nothing.

-- Move/resize windows with mainMod + LMB/RMB and dragging
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + mouse:272", hl.dsp.window.drag(),   { mouse = true })
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + mouse:273", hl.dsp.window.resize(), { mouse = true })

hl.bind(mainMod .. " + mouse:331", hl.dsp.window.drag(),   { mouse = true })
hl.bind(mainMod .. " + mouse:332", hl.dsp.window.resize(), { mouse = true })

Including the "s" letter seen in debut output (so it looked like mouse:s331) didn't help.

I try to change mouse = true to mouse = false but that doesn't help either.

I've also tried putting TABLET_TOOL_BUTTON directly to try my luck but it didn't help. I get unknown keysym.

Likewise I've tried my luck by changing "mouse" to "stylus" so it looked like "stylus:331" but I get the same unknown keysym.

Could it be possible to wire stylus buttons? Maybe a practical section in wiki as well to quickly identify such button names in a terminal in case that different styluses have different names.

I'm sorry if I'm missing something, please let me know.

Reproduction steps

Explained better in context in bug description unless my method is rather haphazard.
