Common terms used for Stream Deck.

  • Actions list: sidebar containing a list of all the actions provided by the installed plugins

  • Canvas: grid displaying the keys containing actions (the size of the grid will change depending on the device)

  • Property Inspector: form area, available to the currently selected key in the canvas where you can customize the icon, title, and action settings

  • Devices: dropdown showing available devices

  • Profiles: user-stored key layouts selected from a dropdown on the canvas

  • Store: store button that navigates to the app store where users can find plugins, assets, etc., to use with their Stream Deck

  • Preferences: opens a menu where you can change Stream Deck settings

Your plugin will appear in the Actions List under the Category you provided in your manifest.json. If you don't provide a value for the Category field in the manifest.json, the actions will fall under the Custom category. Most of the actions require a customized Property Inspector to gather settings information from the user.
