If window detection isn't working, you might need to implement your own get_list_of_all_windows() and get_active_window() in get_window.py.

Using the App

Your duckyPad should show up in the Connection section.

Profile-Autoswitching is based on a list of rules.

To create a new rule, click New rule... button:

A new window should pop up:

Each rule contains Application name, Window Title, and the Profile to switch to.

App name and Window Title:

• Type in the keyword you want to match

• NOT case sensitive

Jump-to Profile:

• Can be Profile Number
  • 1-indexed
• Or Profile Name
  • duckyPad Pro ONLY (for now)
  • Full Name
  • Case Sensitive

Click Save when done.

Current active window and a list of all windows are provided for reference.

---

Back to the main window, duckyPad should now automatically switch profile once a rule is matched!

• Rules are evaluated from top to bottom, and stops at first match!

• Currently matched rule will turn green.

• Select a rule and click Move up and Move down to rearrange priority.

• Click On/Off button to enable/disable a rule.

That's pretty much it! Just leave the app running and duckyPad will do its thing!
