You can check in Edit -> Input devices but to be honest the Keys setting show as Disabled and will not set (at least for me) While you are there check that Gimp is actually using the graphics tablet, it might be disabled and just working as a mouse.

For linux there should be a  xserver-xorg-input- wacom package which provides a command xsetwacom. Not easy to use.

xsetwacom --list   tells me what is available.
Wacom Volito2 4x5 Pen stylus    id: 14 type: STYLUS    
Wacom Volito2 4x5 Pen eraser    id: 15 type: ERASER    
Wacom Volito2 4x5 Pen cursor    id: 16 type: CURSOR 

For the keys this
xsetwacom set "Wacom Volito2 4x5 Pen stylus" Button1 "Button 1"  # left mouse click
xsetwacom set "Wacom Volito2 4x5 Pen stylus" Button2 "Button 2"  # right mouse click
xsetwacom set "Wacom Volito2 4x5 Pen stylus" Button3 "Button 3"  # middle mouse click

There is a long list of available commands xsetwacom --list parameters all  Can be somewhat cryptic. Not all commands apply to a specific tablet.

Some linux distro and desktop environments might have a graphical setup: This is KDE / kubuntu 18.04,  in the hardware section.  https://i.imgur.com/nbOoz43.jpg[/i]
