The Skip Deck

The Skip-Deck is designed as a shortcuts macro that prioritizes versatility. It allows thousands of keys and organizational options.

To maximize flexibility, it uses the concept of a "deck," which is a group of related shortcuts. For example, you could create a deck for Blender, console commands, saved websites (quick open), quick-launch apps, and much more.

Within each deck, you can create additional categories (pages), such as different button pages for various CAD modes, or organize apps by type.

The deck also provides visual feedback: every time you press a key, a small popup appears at the bottom of the screen, showing the current key page (what each key is right now based on the page).

CAD Model:

a back button and 0.91 inch display for knowing the current page, underneath a 3X4 keyboard layout.
