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.)

Multiple Decks

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?)

Detailed Help

Setting the shortcut

You need to do this only once in macOS*:

•  > System Preferences > Keyboard
• Select Shortcuts > App Shortcuts
• Add Glyphs 3,
• Set the Menu Title to ‘Script Deck’
• Choose your desired shortcut.

*) You can define shortcuts in GlyphsApp, but that did not work well for me, so I recommend to define it as described here.
