How does it work?
A Single shortcut
Access all your scripts with one shortcut
I recommend control+space ⌃␣ to open ‘Script Deck’, but feel free to choose a shortcut that suits you best.
Easy Like a Number Pad
Run scripts effortlessly with button clicks or number keys.
The Buttons are arranged like a keyboard’s number pad for intuitive operation and improved muscle memory.
Think of ‘Script Deck’ as a virtual pad controller. Providing unmatched flexibility and portability.
Button: Script
Right-click on a button, select ‘Set Script …’ and choose any Python script. The button will display the script’s menu title.
Button: Color
Optionally pick a color for quick visual identification.
Button: Icon
Also optionally, select an icon to quickly recognize your script’s purpose.
Manage Your Scripts
‘Remove Script’: Clear a script from a button.
‘Reveal Script in Finder’: Quickly access the script file in Finder for code adjustments.
(These menu items only show if the button has a script assigned.)
Navigate between Decks
Switch decks using arrow keys ← / → or tab & shift+tab ⇥ / ⇧⇥ . Alternatively, click on the dots which indicate the active deck. ‘Script Deck’ remembers the last used deck.
Customize Deck Names
Each deck can have a custom name. Use it for organization (e.g. ‘Layers’, ‘Components’, etc)
If not set, it shows a placeholder referencing the deck’s number.
Export & Import
‘Export Deck’: save your deck data to the Desktop as a .plist file.
‘Import Deck’: Load deck data from a .plist file.
This is handy for backup or you could switch between different script sets. (Today the design set and tomorrow engineering?)
