Hardware Eraser Support

/* Adds support for pen inversion, a.k.a. the hardware eraser on the back of your pen.

Simply use the eraser on a supported pen, and it will erase. Your previous tool will be restored when the eraser leaves the screen. (Tested with a surface pen, but should work with all windows ink devices, and probably others)

Note: This script will stay active until the Obsidian window is closed.

Compatible with my Auto Draw for Pen script
