3D Builder Commander

3D Builder was never built for keyboard control, so there was almost nothing to send it. Driving its interface directly turned it into a deck-controlled app anyway.

Built Built and running on the deck. Not submitted yet.

What it does

50 of the 52 commands work the app's own interface rather than sending a keystroke.
Keys that dim when the action is unavailable: Undo and Redo dim with nothing to undo, Save dims with no unsaved changes, and the boolean tools dim until two objects are selected.
A Status key showing the scene name, object count, and an unsaved-changes badge, with an optional mode that makes the deck page follow the app's active ribbon tab.
Emboss: put text on a model from one key.

What you need

The Microsoft 3D Builder desktop app for Windows 10 or 11, version 20.x. Microsoft has removed 3D Builder from the Store, but it keeps working if you already have it installed.

Nothing specific to this one. The notes on the right cover it.

True of every plugin we make

Every key ships with the app's stock default shortcut, and every key is remappable. Type your combination into the property inspector or click Capture and press it once.
Keystrokes go to the active window. The plugin never steals focus or targets a window, so keep the target app in front when you press.
Every command has its own drawn key art, so the deck reads at a glance instead of listing shortcuts.
