I would like to
thank you very much
The way I do it is AppleScript and System Events, though I guess you could use "Click at Image" Actions.
Long form:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Stream Deck"
tell menu bar 2
tell menu bar item 1
click
tell menu 1
tell menu item "Teams" to click
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
Change the name of the menu item (middle-ish line) to the one you want to click.
works perfectly. Exactly what I was looking for ! thank you very much !
If I may go on a tangent: for any given Stream Deck button, if I change the action (open file instead of KM Link for example), I have to reconfigure the title fore and background colors of the button which is a bit tedious (the default does not look nice). Is there a workaround ? thank you
Buttons take on the defaults of the selected action. Only way I can think of is to set up "colourised" buttons for each action, maybe in a separate "Templates" profile, then Copy one of those and Paste it where you want -- I've just tried, and Copy/Paste works across Pages and Profiles.
great idea ! thank you !
Fantastic !! thank you very much. Works perfectly just as you say
hello @Hans-Peter_Henkel and @Nige_S
Do you have any idea why Stream Deck has not migrated to touch instead of mechanical buttons. Looks and feels so archaic ! Are there any competitors ?
good points. How do you manage sleep/wake in devices like iPad ? I have old iPads that I tried to use but sleep wake was an issue.
Disable sleep.
I thought that it was not possible, I will look again. I am sure that you are right. Thank you very much
Hello @Nige_S @DocOck @Hans-Peter_Henkel
Another issue with Stream Deck is quickly turning pages without having to tap a button, and also using the go to page button. Would you have any idea how to trigger those 3 buttons with a Keyboard Maestro macro ? or simply assign a shortcut ? thank you very much
In case I like to use a certain Stream Deck page without having to press a button manually I use this awesome script to change profiles from the following post quite a lot in the meantime:
I am using it assigned to focused application windows. Works great in many cases and I have the correct set of SD actions automatically showing up depending what is necessary on my screen.
thank you for the script. I can switch profiles, no problem. The problem is that many of my profiles contain multiple pages which is a terrible idea because there does not seem to be a quick way to switch pages using a Keyboard Shortcut or a Keyboard Maestro macro. I spent the morning with AI looking for a solution. This is driving me crazy. I will probably have to re-configure all my profiles.
This is what I did. I simply changed pages to individual profiles in cases like this. As far as I’m aware of there is no limit to the amount of profiles.
I use this subroutine:
SD Profile Switcher.kmmacros (46 KB)
Just change the green action to use the name of your Stream Deck device as a default.
thank you very much. What does it mean that this macro is a subroutine and what are the implications on using it ?
It just means you can call it from any other macro, just like a regular action, without having to explicitly deal with AppleScript or multiple actions just to change profile.
As you can see, I don't have to fill in DeviceName, as it defaults to my Stream Deck XL in the subroutine (see previous post).
