Bug Description
For those people without a pressure sensitive drawing tablet, it would be useful to use an ordinary cheap joystick for changing of line with and angle of the tool when drawing.
I would use the mouse with my right hand as usually to press the mouse button and drag across the canvas and with the left hand on the joystick, i can change the parameters in real time.
Pushing the stick upwards could increase the line with (pulling decreases it) and variation between left and right offsets the angle of the tool.
I am no developer, but i think you need the SDL-library for the joystick to make it work on all operating systems.
Imho would be needed a calibration and settings window for the stick, to see if it works, to calibrate it and to change the axis for the options.
