Huion tablet with DIGImend driver: how to setup "Alt + Middle Mouse"?

Hi there!

I'm using my Huion H320M on Linux with the DIGImend driver. I got it working, I can do simple button editing (like "button 1 = Ctrl + Z"), but I'm not able to do a mouse + keyboard combination.
For instance, I work professionally with Maya and Substance Painter. On these, camera controls are achieved with Alt + (mouse left, mouse middle, mouse right). On Windows I used to bind the last bottom button as "Alt + Left Mouse", the next button on top as "Alt + Right Mouse", and the pen button 2 as "Alt + Middle Mouse".

I'm not able to do so on Linux. I don't really understood the wiki page, I think. One of my attempts was:

  xsetwacom set "HUION Huion Tablet_H320M Pad pad" button 1 key Alt button 3

Is there a way to achieve what I want?
Wiki page for reference: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wacom_tablet

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I can partially achieve what I want. Only problem is that the command isn't permanent until I release the button, it's executed and de-executed instantly.
Command:

  xsetwacom set "HUION Huion Tablet_H320M Pad pad" button 1 "key +Alt +button 1"

xsetwacom get "HUION Huion Tablet_H320M Pad pad" button 1
key +Alt_L button +3 -3 

That "-3" is what's probably deactivating the command instantly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT2: I was able to do it via configuration file.

xsetwacom set "HUION Huion Tablet_H320M Pad pad" button 15 "key +Alt button +3"

However, it doesn't work with the stylus tip (hovering over the tablet) for some reason, it only works if I press the tablet key and if I move my actual mouse. Super weird.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT3: Got it working:
  xsetwacom set "HUION Huion Tablet_H320M Pad pad" button 14 "key +Alt button +3"

This works really well for Substance Painter and Blender. But Maya is not showing me a fluid camera control, it only shows me where I land (and not where I'm going).
I already reported this to Audodesk.
