![]() ![]() In case I've said something impolite, I apologize. Maybe I'll upload that code some other day, but at this point I'm probably the only person that needs such code. For example, I've written a macro that loads all the images for the buttons from a folder that contains various images that you've saved, and the name of the file that you give each image is used to indicate which button receives the image and which macro is triggered by pressing the image. I'm enjoying creating useful macros to help KM users use the Stream Deck. The only feature that I want added is the ability to use my iPad to trigger macros when I'm not physically at home (it seems to currently require that I be within WIFI distance of my Mac which has the Stream Deck free hosting/receiving software installed.) Currently I have ten buttons configured to turn ten things off and on. An indicator/button for pausing all my macros temporarily īut now with my Stream Deck software on iPadOS, I can have my own dedicated buttons for these purposes, all available at the same time.An indicator/button for turning my KM code's debug video (usually the Progress Bar window) on/off.An indicator/button for turning my KM code's debug audio on/off.There are a variety of things that I've used that button for: The CAPS LOCK key has a green light on it that I use to indicate that something is "on" or "off". Prior to getting this software, I was using the CAPS LOCK button on my Apple keyboard as a "toggle button" for use by my KM macros. That's twice as many buttons as the $300 top-of-the-line hardware device, and it costs only about $3/month. On the iPadOS version of the software, (which is included in the same monthly fee) I can create up to 64 buttons on my iPad. And I heard someone say that there's a version of the software with a small number of buttons (8?) that you can try for no cost, not even $3. If you like it, you can get the hardware version if that's your preference. While I'm not a huge fan of monthly fees, it's certainly affordable if you want to try it out for a few months. The only downside is that you get it as a subscription service for about $3 per month through the Apple App Store. (The same KM actions that support Stream Deck hardware also support the software alternative.) However I noticed a while ago (six months ago?) that you can now obtain a software-only version of Stream Deck as an app for iOS, and they just added an iPadOS version also. But I've never been willing to spend hundreds of dollars on one of those devices. Keyboard Maestro supports Stream Deck hardware with some built-in actions. Here is a quick review of how I'm using Keyboard Maestro with the Stream Deck software from the iOS and iPadOS App Store (not the actual hardware device, just the software version of it.) ![]()
