Questions

A key does nothing or does something else.
Each key sends the game's default hotkey to the window in front, so keep the game in front. The keys follow the "Definitive Edition" hotkey set (Options > Hotkeys). If you use another set or changed a hotkey, open the key in the Stream Deck app and set its Hotkey to the same key.

A stance, formation or build key does nothing.
These keys act on what you have selected, the same as on the keyboard. Select military units for orders, villagers for the build menus, a Town Center or a Market for their keys. Each page name tells what to select.

A building key does nothing.
Press ECONOMIC BLDG or MILITARY BLDG first with villagers selected, then the building. A building shows once your age allows it; after the key, click the place on the map as usual.

A letter key types into the chat box instead.
While the chat box is open, letters go into the box, as with your keyboard. With a Japanese (or other) input method on, switch it to direct input.

My keyboard is not US or Japanese.
The keys are set for US and Japanese layouts. On layouts where a letter sits elsewhere (for example French AZERTY), change that key's Hotkey in the Stream Deck app.

Can I add control groups 5 to 10 or other hotkeys?
Yes. Add a Hotkey action in the Stream Deck app and set it to the hotkey shown in the game.

Can a key scroll or zoom the map?
A Stream Deck key sends one short press, so scrolling and zooming stay on your mouse.

Do I need to add anything to the game?
No. The keys use the hotkeys the game already has, so the game needs no mods and no extra setup.

Which Stream Deck models?
Stream Deck MK.2, XL, Neo and +.
