Nicco, thank you for your video! I’m going to be purchasing one soon, but I have a question. Firstly, I’m on the latest version of MacOS. I want to be able to have a Stream Deck button associated with “Application 1” to perform an action. I want another button associated with “Application 2” to perform an action. Now let’s say the focused app on my Mac is Application 3”, and I press the first button. Will it perform the action on App 1 as desired, even though App 3 has focus? Bottom line is that I want a button to perform a specific action on a Mac app, even if it’s not the current focused app. Thanks!
Hi Gary, Thank you for watching. The answer to your question heavly depends on the type of action you want to perform in Application 1 or Application 2 when the focus is on Application 3. If you want to perform Hotkey actions - then this will not work - as the hot keys are always executed in the currently focused window. On the otherhand if you have a plugin that can talk to the App via an interface then this will most likley work. Example 1: Action is a hotkey (" cmd + c") and the focus is on Application 3 - then this hot key will be executed in application 3 Example 2: Action is a Media Play/Pause - and the Music app is not in focus - this is still going to work, unless the current app in focus takes over media control. I hope this answers your question.
Hi @TorClans - I created a Stream Deck Plugin that lets you run pyhton scripts and change the image on the Stream Deck key based on the printed value to the console. github.com/9h03n1x/pythonscriptdeck.
Hi @TorClans, I would not write a plugin as a contractor. If it is a small plugin I would recommend going to Fiverr to find someone to build it for you. If it is a large plugin - I might be able to help and find a suitable contractor.
I use the Streamdeck for a GTA5 FiveMserver, we use it for the firefighter and ems job. I need a Plugin when I press the one Button that the Imagine from the other is changing.
Awesome, video! I have subscribed and yes, I definitely liked 😊. Thank you. You clarify things that for me had been perplexing 👍🏾🙏🏾😃

If there is a well documented API, I bet you can build this plugin with the help of AI as well
How can I get a API?
Can you share a link of the type ofserver you are using?
