A profile per app
Make your phone show a media-player deck whenever the player is in front, and go back to your normal deck afterwards. Background: Auto-switching by app.
- Create a profile called
Media(the New profile button under the Hierarchy) with a few buttons: play/pause, next, previous (use Shortcut with the media keys or the player's own hotkeys). - With
Mediaselected, open Auto-switch rules and click Pick from running apps…. Start your player first so it is in the list, or type its executable name, for examplePlayer.exe, and click Add. - Open Pairing and switch on Follow active window for your phone.
- Save.
Now bring the player to the front: the phone switches to Media. Click on another window: it returns to your previous profile.
Tips
- Set a default profile in Preferences for the "nothing matched" case.
- In the phone's drawer, the lock switch pauses auto-switching when you want to stay on one profile.
- Picking a profile by hand makes it the base to return to.
