Dial Stacks for Stream Deck +
Hi there, really love your plugin, thanks for making it!
I have an idea/request that I think would be helpful for use with the new Stream Deck + and its dials.
On the new Stream Deck + they have what's known as Dial Stacks where you can click the dial to perform a secondary option/macro/keystroke using the dial with three possible parameters, Click/Rotate CW/Rotate CCW. It would be great if KM Link could assign different Keyboard Maestro Macros to these dial parameters.
The issue currently is that on the Stream Deck + the plugins list is now broken up in to two sections, "Keys" and "Dials". I "think" it should be possible to take a KM Link button and assign it to a Dial Stack, it just needs to show up in the list of plugins under the "Dials" section.
Is this something you would be able to take a look at and see if it is possible to add the functionality?
Many thanks!
Hello, Thanks for your love ;-)
well, i already took a look and sorry but i guess no for lots of reasons :
- I've made KM Link to be as fast and simple as possible. I don't want to add refinements such as macro search or filters, multi parameter fields, ... or dial.
- I do not see what the Dial+ would bring more than 3 simple keys. KM Link is just a macro trigger. It would be tricky to handle rotation in real time and most likely buggy. The only way i may support rotation would be on "dialUp" (when the finger release the dial) and then trigger the KM macro with the dial value as a macro parameter. Quite poor...
- Like today for Keys, it will be impossible to get an initial value or feedback from KM or the computer to a SD+ Dial. So the Dial indicator would always be set arbitrarily in the middle at start.
- It would not be so complicated but i would take a bit of time. I don't have some at the moment.
- I don't have a Streamdeck+ so i couldn't do any tests...
I'd buy an SD+ right away if I needed it and probably upgrade to KM Link. But I can't find a use case. Can you detail what you expect to do with KMLink + Dial ?
