Computer controls

Your computer’s own controls, on the tablet

Keep your computer’s shortcuts, media controls and touch settings within reach in Decky Display. Open the panel from a screen or a Controller: it is Mac Controls with a Mac, and Controls with a Windows PC.

Support: Reach your computer’s controls

The shortcuts you reach for

On a Mac: Mission Control, Spotlight, ⌘-Tab, the Apple menu, the screenshot tools and lock, each one performed by the Mac itself. On Windows: Task view, Search, Start, Switch app, Snipping Tool, Task Manager and Lock computer.

Media keys where your hands are

Volume and playback from the tablet, so whatever is playing on the computer is controlled from the tablet in your hand.

Tune touch while you work

The Touch tab holds Natural and Classic, Hold to drag, Scroll speed and Scroll inertia. Change the pen’s behavior and the screen keyboard’s Automatic or Manual setting in the same panel.

The screen mode is right there

On a screen device, move between Extend, Mirror and Alone from the panel. Your Controller remains a keyboard and touchpad with a separate job.

Choose where to type

With a linked Controller, the screen’s Touch panel shows where the keyboard is. Choose Use keyboard here to bring typing back to the screen. The status stays in the panel, leaving your picture clear.

Where you left it

The panel remembers which corner it rests in and which tab you had open, per device, from one connection to the next.
