Title:
  wacom drawing tablet configuration doesn't let you assign modifier
  keys to buttons

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Wacom drawing tablets has a set of buttons that can be configured to
  send keypresses. It's useful to assign pure modifier keys to these
  buttons, to work as modifiers for pen input – for example, in GIMP,
  holding ctrl lets you pick colors from an image without having to
  explicitly switch from the brush tool to the color picker tool (and
  back again).

  Ubuntu's wacom configurator doesn't let you do this though. On the
  button remapping screen, modifier keys simply aren't recognized as
  input unless a "regular" key is pressed as well. I can assign "ctrl +
  z" to a button, but not "ctrl" by itself.
