I'm discussing this with the team since the use case seems very specific, and I'd like to know if it could be implemented in another plugin or with additional options. We'll get back to you once we have feedback, if any. |

@EMERALD0874 custom launch args are a pretty regular thing for myself or those who like to mod, or apply protondb fixes occasionally. Let me know how the discussions go and if there's any recommendation on consolidation |
|
@xXJSONDeruloXx After some consideration, this is likely too niche and a subset of what Decky Clipboard could accomplish. I recommend you either talk to the dev or make a PR for adding a set of locked/pinned clipboard entries that persist through device restarts to accomplish the same purpose. If I'm misunderstanding and that wouldn't accomplish the goal of your plugin or if the developer won't reach out, please us know. |

@EMERALD0874 I really don't think they're comparable or that my functionality would suit a pr to the other plugin. Decky clipboard looks to be more of an analogue for something like continuity on Apple devices, sharing the current clipboard at a point in time across devices. This is a set of reusable text strings added to a clipboard fully inside one scope of the steam os device, none others. Looking forward to your thoughts. |

CheatDeck enables you to edit game launch options directly by category and customize templates. (I haven't tried this plugin, so I'm not sure if its features overlap.) |
|
@xXJSONDeruloXx Can you please research if CheatDeck implements the same functionality as your plugin? |
|
@EMERALD0874 different use case IMO, for CheatDeck, I just poked around it and it seems the custom launch args and settings are managed in its own interface in a options item added to a per game setting, but snippets is just strings coppied to your clipboard, so you could use this for launch args, common phrases you would want to copy and paste in a MMO, resolution dimensions that sometimes you'd have to type in on a games settings pop up window if its old enough etc. The benefit of snippets is it is system level, just making shortcuts to add things to your keyboard, not enforcing a scope like just exposing password manager or env vars and prefixes like CheatDeck. |
Add Snippets to Plugin Store
This is a simple plugin that lets you create "snippets" for launch commands you typically add to steam launch args, such as
SteamDeck=0 %command%. There is a toggle to append the %command% at the end of the snippet for added convenience. On selection of the snippet, it gets coppied to your clip board, ready to paste into the launch args line.You can add your own snippets, and optionally name them, then edit or delete them, or reset to default.
This is functionally different than the Decky Clipboard plugin as this does not link your clipboard across devices, rather it lets you curate a set of commonly used strings, to reduce the PITA that typing with the deck keyboard can be.
