Stream Deck Ideas

Window presets:

  • Full screen on left monitor
  • Full screen across both monitors (useful for VS Code)
  • Full screen on right monitor

Shape tools:

  • Set point 1
  • Set point 2
  • Trace line between points (useful for snipping tool highlights)
  • Trace rectangle with points as corners (useful for drawing boxes in snipping tool)
  • Trace circle?

Clipboard tools:

  • Send Clipboard (with special sequences)
  • Send Clipboard raw
  • Find and replace in clipboard
  • Convert formats in clipboard
    • Capitalization
    • Line endings
    • CSV/TSV
    • JSON pretty print
  • Load image from file into clipboard (useful for memes or reference images to be pasted into Teams)

Launcher:

  • Open Command Prompt, PowerShell, Git Bash (stream deck can do this on its own)
    • Open those programs using the *RunAsUser verb so you can run them with administrative privileges
  • Run maintenance tasks on a remote server using SSH, PsExec, or some other remote access tool.

Snippets! The stream deck can send blocks of text but with AHK you can paste them for better performance.
