Multi-action¶
A Multi-action button runs several steps one after the other. Each step has a delay (ms) that is waited before it runs. The editor offers three step kinds:
- Hotkey: keys, with the keyboard shortcut syntax;
- Open app: a path, like the Open program action;
- Mute app: toggles mute of a process.
Example, "Start meeting": open the meeting app, wait 3000 ms, send ^+m.
Steps of other types (Discord, OBS, scripts..., for example from a Stream Deck import) are kept and run, even though the editor only creates these three kinds.
Conditions¶
Each step has an Only if field. With a condition, the step only runs when it's met; otherwise it is skipped and the multi-action moves on. Not inverts it: the step runs when the condition is not met. The default, Always, runs the step every time.
| Only if… | Value |
|---|---|
| The OBS stream is live | None |
| OBS is recording | None |
| The Discord mic is muted | None |
| Discord audio is deafened | None |
| A two-state button is on | The two-state button, picked from a list. |
| An app is open | Process name without .exe, e.g. Spotify. |
| An app is focused | Process name of the window in focus. |
| It is between two times | 08:00-18:00. A range that crosses midnight works: 22:00-06:00. |
| It is one of these weekdays | 0 = Sunday … 6 = Saturday, with ranges and commas: 1-5, 0,6. |
- The condition is checked when the step's turn comes, after its delay. The delay is waited even if the step is then skipped.
- Example, one "Go live" button: start streaming; then, only if
obs64is not focused, switch to the stream scene; and only if it's between18:00-23:59, turn the desk light on.
Record from the keyboard¶
In the PC configurator, Record from keyboard records what you type on the PC's keyboard and turns it into hotkey steps: go to the program, type the sequence and click Stop.
- Keys typed in a row become a single step (
hi{ENTER}); a pause longer than half a second starts a new step, with the delay rounded to 100 ms. - Recording stops on its own after 60 seconds.
Review before saving
Because it reads the whole keyboard, recording only works in the configurator open on the PC itself; the phone doesn't have this button. Everything typed goes in, passwords included.
Created on the PC only
A multi-action with a hotkey, program, script or HTTP step can only be created or changed in the configurator on the PC. The phone runs it normally.
