You might have a bit of a wait for someone who also uses one of those drawing tablets to come along on this forum.
Looking at search results, this has a built-in key functions and what looks like a circular 'mouse' joystick maybe ? At least there is a tiny bit of manufacturer advice for Gimp users. https://www.xp-pen.com/faq-46-207.html Nice to see that.
Using that Edit -> Input Devices -> Screen setting should get the tablet stylus working. Without the Screen setting a tablet works as a mouse. If you have a mouse (or touchpad) and it shows up in the settings, it will work independent of the tablet. Each retain their own settings, tools / colours / brushes etc. and swap over when used which can be confusing.
Changing brushes is a click on an icon in the brushes dock, use the stylus for that, however size is set up for a mouse-wheel+keys Just as easy to use the sliders in the tool options. Find the setting in Edit -> Preferences -> Input Controllers.Who knows there might be something for your tablet.
Zoom in / out with a tablet, usually a mouse function ctrl-alt-mouse wheel but you can pan with a stylus - hold the space bar down.
Does the Tablet software have any functions for assigning keyboard functions to the tablet?
Not much I can really help you with, I use linux as an OS and an ancient Wacom occasionally. Have to say Gimp 2.10.22 is better than earlier Gimp 2.10 sub-versions. I see there is a reddit forum https://www.reddit.com/r/XPpen/ That must be the best bet for questions.
