Plasticity Hotkeys · Stream Deck plugin

What it does

Six dials on the Stream Deck + XL, each with its own touch-strip art, and four on the Stream Deck +. Turn the rotate dial and it types the angle into Plasticity's own field, one degree per click, or five-degree snaps with the dial held in. Tap either side of the Zoom, Undo / Redo, Selection Mode or Viewport strip to zoom, undo or redo, or step the mode or view.
A command browser dial that walks all 170 commands by category. Press to run the one you land on.
A touch Tool Bar puts Plasticity's drawing tools on the touch screens, nine panes of two to four tools: curves, circles, rectangles, boxes, arcs, shapes, round solids, curve edit and measure. Tap a tool to start it, or turn the knob to pick one and press; you pick each screen's pane in its settings. It has its own page on the Stream Deck + XL, one key from the hub, and is page two on the Stream Deck +.
Six bundled profiles, one per deck, with Easy Link on the top-left key of each. The 15-key Stream Deck and the 32-key Stream Deck XL open on a color-coded category hub, then a page per category with every bound command pre-wired and a Home key throughout. The Stream Deck + XL runs the same pages across all 36 keys with six dials on every page, adds the Tool Bar page, and fills its hub with the category keys, a status key and a 16-key value pad. The Stream Deck + places Easy Link, six starter keys and its four dials on page one. The Stream Deck Mini and the Stream Deck Neo page through every bound command, category by category.
Per-key sounds, so a press confirms itself without looking away from the model.

Good to know

Plasticity 26.1.3 on Windows 10 or later or macOS 13 or later, with Stream Deck software 6.9 or newer. Profiles are bundled for six decks: the 15-key Stream Deck, the Stream Deck +, the Stream Deck + XL, the 32-key Stream Deck XL, the Stream Deck Mini and the Stream Deck Neo. Keystrokes go to the active window, so keep Plasticity in front; the plugin never steals focus.
106 of the 170 commands fire on a shortcut Plasticity already ships. The other 64 have none. For 61 of those, any hotkey key's settings carry a one-click Install Plasticity key bindings button that merges fixed F13 to F20 key combinations into Plasticity's own keymap. It backs that file up first, never overwrites a shortcut you set, and undoes cleanly. Restart Plasticity afterward. Installed the bindings before version 3.1? Press the button once more for the three new commands, then restart Plasticity.
Until you install those bindings, the affected keys show the deck's alert and send nothing. That is deliberate: a key that quietly does nothing is worse than one that tells you.
On a Mac, Stream Deck needs two permissions: Accessibility, and Automation for System Events. If a key does nothing, turn Stream Deck on under both in System Settings, Privacy and Security, then restart Stream Deck. Keep the pointer over Plasticity's viewport: on macOS Plasticity runs shortcuts only there. In a custom hotkey, Ctrl means Command. On macOS the Three Point Box key does not start its tool.
Per-key sounds play through the system default output device.
Plasticity's keymap is user-editable; remapped commands need the hotkey capture, same as everywhere else. Selection Mode and Viewport track their own position, so a change made from the keyboard can put them out of step.

True of every plugin we make

Every key carries the app's own shortcut for that command, and every key is remappable. Type your combination into the key's property inspector (its settings panel in the Stream Deck app) or click Capture and press it once. Where an app leaves a command unbound, the key still reaches it by the route that app exposes.
Keystrokes go to the front window and nothing steals focus, 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.
