I have some macros I like to use in order to save me time. I also have an Elgato Stream Deck that I use to boost my productivity.

I would like to be able to run my Affinity macros from my Stream Deck. I can access most other required functions by simply having the button on my Stream Deck send a hotkey to do the desired function.

However, I cannot use this method to trigger macros in Affinity because I cannot a custom shortcut to trigger that macro (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-Shift-1). Currently, every time I want to use a macro, I have to open the Library tab and manually scroll through my list of macros to find the right one. I would love to be able to skip these few steps every time I wish to run a macro. For me, half the point of macros is to be able to run them without having to halt my workflow every time (1: stop what I'm doing, 2: open the library panel, 3: scroll through the list of macros in tiny font, 4: click one, 5: and then close the library panel). Having a keyboard shortcut for a macro would allow me to skip these 5 steps every time.

Keeping the library panel open at all times is less than ideal. It only eliminates 2 of those 5 steps, and consumes valuable screen real estate (and mental bandwidth).
