Reference boards · Stream Deck plugin

PureRef Hotkeys

A reference board is only useful when it is always in reach and never in the way. These keys move it, fade it, and draw on it without pulling you off the work.

What it does

A command palette dial: press to open PureRef's palette, turn to move through it, hold the dial down to run the highlighted command.
Mode-aware drawing keys: the same key adapts to whichever tool mode PureRef is in, by design.
A window-opacity dial, so a reference board can fade over whatever you are working in.
Keys that read the scene back: Save shows a dot while changes are unsaved, Draw shows whether draw mode is on, Hierarchy shows whether the panel is open.
Covers image placement, transforms, canvas navigation, and the drawing tools.

What you need

Windows 10 or later, Stream Deck software 6.9 or newer, and PureRef. Built and tested against PureRef 2.1.3.

Good to know

Draw keys follow PureRef's current tool mode, so the same key can behave differently while a drawing tool is active. That is by design.
Bundled profiles ship for all six current Stream Deck models: Stream Deck, Stream Deck +, Stream Deck + XL, Stream Deck XL, Stream Deck Mini and Stream Deck Neo. The dial profiles need a deck with dials, the rest are keys only.

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 property inspector 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.
