So if I understand the current situation correctly: in Windows/Edge, erasing has been implemented/forced as a modifier key that's tied specifically to pressure on the digitizer (in the case of the Surface Pen, pressing eraser button while hovering has no effect, and it only acts as modifier once the tip touches the screen; in the case of the Wacom stylus, having the stylus flipped - which at low level is distinguished as being an erased mode switch - has no effect, and the hovering eraser is treated exactly the same as a hovering writing tip, and only once the eraser has any pressure it's translated into a pen action with eraser modifier). The question for me is: are Microsoft likely to change the model and treat the eraser button not as a modifier, but as a means of switching into "eraser mode", changing the `pointerType` to something new like `eraser`? Or will PE somehow have to cater for both models (eraser as modifier vs eraser as its own tool/type)? @teddink any thoughts? -- GitHub Notification of comment by patrickhlauke Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/134#issuecomment-242912740 using your GitHub account
