v0.2.2 — More ways to reuse actions, and five new screen savers
Five new screen savers (6 → 11)
| Effect | What it looks like |
|---|---|
| Matrix Code | Columns of mirrored glyphs rain down a black screen, each stream led by a white-hot character. |
| HAL 9000 | One red camera eye watching from the middle of the deck, breathing slowly and casting its light on the keys around it. |
| Ember Field | Flames climb from the bottom of the deck, embers lifting off into the dark above. |
| Hyperspace | A warping wormhole tunnel twists past while stars spiral out of its throat. |
| Split-Flap Board | Every key becomes a flap module, riffling and settling into a word, then scrambling to the next. |
Choose one under Stream Deck display and hit Preview now to see it straight away — no idle wait, and no physical deck required.
Matrix Code draws half-width katakana where a Japanese font is installed, and falls back to Latin letters and digits where none is. For the authentic glyphs:
sudo apt install fonts-noto-cjk. The package only suggests it, so installing LinuxStreamDeck never pulls in 91 MB of fonts on its own.
Copy an action anywhere
The copy button on a step used to duplicate it at the end of the same list. Now it puts the action on a clipboard you can paste wherever you want:
- Right-click any row for everything it can do — Copy, Paste, Move up / down / to top / to bottom, and Remove. The row stays highlighted while the menu is open, so it is always clear which one you are acting on.
- Paste onto a row to insert it there, pushing that row down; right-click the list beside its rows to add it at the end.
- The copy survives switching lists, key types and keys, so an action can go into a toggle's ON list, into another press gesture, or into a completely different key.
- Single action keys join in too: right-click the editor to copy or replace its action.
- Paste action on the grid's right-click menu turns any key into a Single action key running the copied action — and the clipboard stays loaded, so you can drop the same action onto several keys in a row.
Pasted rows arrive scrolled into view but closed, since they are already configured.
Fixes
- Double-clicking a folder on the on-screen deck now opens it. This was documented but never actually worked: a GtkButton claims the click for itself, which cancelled the gesture that was waiting for the second one. You no longer have to go through the editor's Open folder button.
- Moving a step with the up/down arrows no longer leaves a background task running for the rest of the session.
