How to register the Camera Mirror Flip command in the Stream Deck #27

So, the title is self-explanatory. I got a Stream Deck, and I'm using it to register some of the more complex button combinations that Blender asks for. I'm working with Blender 4.0, I've installed the addon via the Blender Addon menu, and I'm using it on Linux. Like any other 2D artist, I use a lot the mirror flip of the view to balance out my shapes, and I wish I could do it with a button press instead of moving the cursor. What should I type in the command slot of the Stream Deck menu to make it flip the canvas?

Hi, I have no clue on how to achieve that. that mean one app have to communicate with another, and I don't think that's easy. By default Blender cannot receive external commands, except at launch time.

Note that your question is very specific and is not concerning the addon at all... But !! I happen to have a stream deck myself and you got me hooked ! ^^ I'll try to see if a solution exists whenever I got some spare time ! But again, pretty sure this is not easy, except if someone has already released a method to communicate with Blender from something like the stream deck.

Cheers.
