Not sure if this is already common knowledge but I didn't know what keywords to Google/search for for the documentation of this feature/here on this sub.

TIL that if you plug your Surface (I am using a Surface Go) to an external screen, and choose "Second screen only" for your projection option (i.e. being used in a dock), the surface becomes like a Wacom-like tablet where you can use your fingers/stylus/surface pen on the Surface and it gets mapped to the external monitor AS THOUGH YOU WERE USING AN EXTERNAL WACOM TABLET.

This is so cool and I can't believe I only discovered it now after owning my Surface Go for SO LONG. This would have helped so many times when I wanted to use a larger screen but still needed the stylus input.
