# How does it work?



 

## 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.)_



 

## 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:_



1.  > `System Preferences` > `Keyboard`

1. Select `Shortcuts` > `App Shortcuts`

1. Add `Glyphs 3`, set the Menu Title to `‘Script Deck’`

1. Choose your desired shortcut.



 

## Download



#### Install it from the GlyphsApp
Plugin Manager



In Glyphs 3 > Windows > Plugin Manager
select ‘Plugins’ and search for ‘Script Deck’



Don’t download from here, it won’t work.
