Integrate absolute mouse movement and the mouse's current X/Y position on screen.

[Deejay85]

I did some looking and can't find anything for absolute mouse movement...relative moment, yes, but that's not what I was going for. If possible I would think it would be a good idea to implement this for greater ease when it comes to setting up repetitive gestures that can simply be assigned to a one click macro. Also, and I'm still surprised this hasn't been done yet, but why is there no X/Y value in terms of the cursor's current absolute position on screen like it is for the official Streamdeck? I'm surprised these two ideas haven't been included sooner, and so I decided to bring it up as an idea for anyone with the skill/talent/time to do so.

To be fair, I haven't tested it, but as far as I am aware it should work. Afaik, this feature is in experimental in the used Upstream Library tho, so it could have bugs or not working at all.

Absolute mouse movement is already supported

I managed to use it by putting in the following: [m(10,10,a)], so good news, that works. :D The only issue left is how do I get the X/Y coordinates on the screen? I don't see a plugin for it, and I don't see any way to do it that's currently built in to the program. Sure, I could always war dial it, but if there is a simpler method, why?

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. You want something that displays the current coordinates of your mouse so that you can set up the actions? I’m not sure that’s relevant to the scope of OpenDeck and you could certainly use an external program for that. If you really want that displayed on your deck, you’d need to write a plugin.

[Deejay85]

I'd gladly write the program myself except I don't know how. I just figured it would help in the use of automation (which is what I use it for), and seeing as how the mouse's location is a feature that's built into the original stream deck, I thought it was something useful to bring up. I'd really prefer not to use more programs than I need, but since you brought it up, what is the name of one that I can look into that would take all the guess work out of making macros?

[nekename]

My Google/Claude is as good as yours in this situation. I've never needed such a program personally.

[Deejay85]

Well I don't know about you, but a stream deck is just a fancier macro keyboard for me thanks to the graphic icons...which is why I bought a Corsair Gallon 100 SD. Still waiting on that compatibility fix BTW. 😜

[Terrorwolf01]

We are happy to review the contribution of the Corsair Galleon 100 SD to the upstream library and OpenDeck. Due to us not owning a device, we are not able to add support for it (As stated in #38 ).

Tbh I have no idea what you're saying anymore

[Deejay85]

Sorry...didn't mean to confuse you. A macro keyboard is just a way to assign a macro to a custom key, whether it's a single key press, or something more complex. Usually I use them for repetitive actions such as right click + T to open a new link when browsing for example. While it may not seem like much, if your opening a bunch of links, it can save a lot of time. The Logitech G910 is one such example of these keyboards (five macro keys on the left hand side, and four at the top). Point is, since I use macros to make some routine tasks easier, it may be hard if I forget what key does what function, so having a little graphic icon and some text when using a Streamdeck is a major improvement. I hope what I said now makes more sense for you.
