Qlab Shortcut Profile

Stream Deck + ready — dial-aware QLab shortcut pack with custom touchstrip layouts.

Dial features (Stream Deck +XL): • 4 dedicated dial layouts on the touchstrip • Rotate to adjust values (with optional acceleration on rapid spin) • Press, long-press, and touch tap each bind to distinct actions • Falls back gracefully to keypad-only on Stream Deck Classic / MK.2, XL

What's included:

• Transport (10) • Create Cue (10) • Playhead (10) • Flags & Tools (8) • Panels (8) • Cue Fields (7) • Time (6) • Help (3)

Features: • Three icon themes: Dark (minimal, accent bars), Plain (vibrant category colors), and Brand (app signature color across all keys) • Folder-based navigation with category pages for quick access • Auto-organized layout — most important shortcuts first

Install: double-click any .streamDeckProfile to import. The App binding is pre-filled to QLab — auto-activates on focus. If it didn't pre-fill, set it manually under Stream Deck → Preferences → Profiles → App.

Setup (required for some keys)

macOS only. QLab 5 does not run on Windows.

Keys send keyboard shortcuts to whichever app is frontmost. QLab must be the active app for them to land — and QLab’s single-letter commands (V, S, P, N, Q, O, T, E, D, W, C, F, L, M) are ignored while a text field is being edited.

If a key does nothing, grant the Stream Deck app Accessibility permission under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. Without it no keystroke reaches QLab.

The 4 dials require the bundled QLab Dials plugin, included in this download. The keys work without it.

If the dials do nothing, grant Stream Deck permission under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation. This is a system permission, not a profile fault.

The Nudge dial only responds inside the Timeline tab of a Timeline Group cue; the Zoom dial works in the waveform and timeline views.

Setup (macOS)

Grant the Stream Deck app Accessibility permission (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility) — without it, key presses never reach QLab.

Initial release. 62 buttons across 8 folders covering transport and audition, all 10 cue types, inline cue-field editing, flags and renumbering, playhead and selection movement, panels and Edit/Show mode switching, and waveform trimming, plus 2 chord workflows and 4 Stream Deck+ dials.

Every binding is taken from QLab's official keyboard shortcut documentation and was checked against QLab 5.6.3 itself — including one correction the docs get wrong.
