The Touch Bar widgets in BTT already include that functionality, so I imagine a Music/Spotify Stream Deck plugin isn’t far off. There are only a couple of plugins I would want to fully replicate in BetterTouchTool before switching over, namely the CPU load plugin (which won’t be hard to recreate with some shell scripting) and the Spotify integration that shows cover art while playing. I wasn’t willing to let go of those quite yet, so I’m running as a plugin. The latter is supposed to be more performant, but it also means you lose all other Stream Deck plugins. You can run BetterTouchTool as a Stream Deck plugin, integrating it into individual buttons in the Stream Deck software, or BetterTouchTool can take over control of your Stream Deck completely. And you’re no longer limited to just folders and pages, now you can do things like hold a button and have a row of options temporarily change, allowing things like multi-press triggers. Fully scriptable buttons, the ability to control buttons from external scripts, and anything BetterTouchTool can do can be assigned to your Stream Deck. Setting up your Stream Deck with BetterTouchTool is a little more cumbersome than using the Stream Deck software, but the scope of capabilities is vastly larger. I’ve only begun to dig into the possibilities here. It’s a beta feature, but I’ve already found it to be an amazing extension to my Stream Deck.
