Ability to share "device status" between different, but not necessarily all input devices
Operating System: All
Description of the feature
The ability to either share device status between either individual devices or between all devices.
Use cases
Graphic tablets can be configured to interact with part of the screen, this means you can restrict the tablet to just the drawing and not all the other UI on the screen. However this doesn't work with GIMP as there is no way to configure the drawing tools (pencil, pen, eraser, etc).
Alternatives
Disabling the graphics tablet input device and just using the core pointer for everything. This has the downside of not being able to use pressure or tilt.
