This profile's own key art, drawn by the same code that builds the files you install — and a starting point, not a fixed layout. Once it is imported, every key, folder and page is yours to move, rename, re-icon or delete in the Elgato Stream Deck app. What this page cannot be is the rest of the box: one theme of the ones it ships, two Stream Deck models of six, one platform's key combinations, and no dials.
Every published revision of this profile, newest first — what changed and why, in the maker's own words.
v1.0 — Every shortcut read from Adobe's own Character Animator reference and verified through the builder's key encoder on both operating systems.
Every action in the profile with its key combination, grouped as it is on the device.

96 shortcuts auto-paginate to fit any Stream Deck — one key per page is reserved for navigation.
96 shortcuts, grouped into 6 sets: Timeline (36), Puppets (21), General (17), Scenes & Files (13), Workspace (7), Help (2).
Yes — it auto-paginates. Mini needs 20 pages, Neo needs 14 pages, MK.2 needs 7 pages, XL needs 4 pages, + needs 14 pages, + XL needs 3 pages.
Yes — completely. It installs as 5 folders holding 96 shortcuts, and every one of them is yours from that moment: in the official Elgato Stream Deck app you can drag a key to another slot, rename it, change its icon, move it between folders, add your own actions or delete what you don't use. The layout is a starting point, not a lock.
macOS and Windows. Each shortcut ships with its platform-specific key combination, so one profile covers both.
