OneNote Commander

Notebooks get deep enough that finding the page costs more than writing on it. Turn a dial and the notebook moves, with the real names on the strip so you know where you landed.

What it does

The page and section dials read their live names straight from OneNote, so the touch strip shows where you actually are in the notebook.
Live keys that work even when OneNote is not the front window, so a status check or a search does not interrupt what you are doing.
Dedicated To-Do and Search pages in the bundled profile, plus a PDF export key.

What you need

The OneNote desktop app for Windows, either the current Microsoft 365 version or the free desktop app, which are the same program today. Not compatible with the retired OneNote for Windows 10 store app, OneNote for the web, or OneNote for Mac. Stream Deck software 6.9 or newer.

Good to know

Works with the OneNote desktop app for Windows: the current Microsoft 365 version or the free desktop app, which are the same program today. It does not work with the retired OneNote for Windows 10 store app, OneNote for the web, or OneNote for Mac.
Keystroke commands go to the active window, so OneNote has to be focused when you press. The live keys (Status breadcrumb, Jump to Page, To-Do Dashboard, Search, PDF export) read and drive OneNote through its automation API in the background, so they work even when OneNote is not in front.
Audio and video capture is driven through OneNote itself. The record, pause, and stop keys fire, but OneNote's own recorder can behave inconsistently depending on your machine and audio devices. If a recording will not start, check the capture in OneNote directly.

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.
