VulcanBoard

VulcanBoard

A hotkey board for desktop touchscreens.

There are many hotkey solutions and programs like that use either

• physical devices (Elgato StreamDeck) or
• touchscreens (LioranBoard, MacroDeck, StreamPi)

They are often very bloated but lack basic features like

• multitouch support on the desktop
• asynchronous command execution
• fullscreen mode

They also crash way too often, so especially given their intended use for livestreaming production that greatly values stability, VulcanBoard aims to be a rock-solid alternative.

Installation

To setup you need to have python3 installed. In addition, to install the dependencies using pip:

pip install pyyaml kivy

Project State

It is currently still under heavy development, here are some planned changes:

• add documentation for the configuration and use of VulcanBoard
• display error_exits in a gui window
• add gui window to configure keys
  • add multiple boards to config.yml
  • add edit history cache
• add button merging
• add possibility to choose the font family used for button texts
• add rounded corners
• add fullscreen mode (maybe using a cmdline switch)
• use constants / constant dict for default values
• add folders
