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.
And the dials
On a Stream Deck + the touchstrip shows this, and the encoder under it does what the card says. Drawn by the plugin's own display library — the readings are sample values, the layout is the one that installs.

Version history
Every published revision of this profile, newest first — what changed and why, in the maker's own words.
V1 Aug 10, 2026 Latest version
Initial release. 62 buttons across 8 folders covering transport and audition, all 10 cue types, inline cue-field editing, flags and renumbering, playhead and selection movement, panels and Edit/Show mode switching, and waveform trimming, plus 2 chord workflows and 4 Stream Deck+ dials. Every binding is taken from QLab's official keyboard shortcut documentation and was checked against QLab 5.6.3 itself — including one correction the docs get wrong.

The layout is a starting point, not a lock.
Which operating systems does the QLab profile support?
macOS only — every shortcut in it is a macOS combination. The install is one click either way.
