WinTronic

Native Windows automation for Stream Deck, built from the Mac-A-Tron model.

Table of Contents

Introduction

WinTronic is the Windows Stream Deck counterpart to Mac-A-Tron. It is largely a native port because the authors are primarily Mac based, but do use Windows also and want the same practical button workflows available there.

The plug-in bundles the Windows robo.exe helper. That keeps keyboard chains, text transforms, browser targeting, mouse placement, window movement, clocks, and timers in a native Windows process instead of relying on JavaScript alone.

Windows browser caveat: Browser Tab works, but it is slower than the macOS implementation because Windows browser automation exposes less direct control. The Windows Robo Default Browser command does not silently switch the default browser; it opens the correct Settings location so you can make the choice.

Installation & Setup

  1. Install the WinTronic Stream Deck plug-in package.
  2. Add actions to your Stream Deck from the WinTronic category.
  3. Use the bundled robo.exe for the automation work behind those buttons.

WinTronic does not need macOS Accessibility permissions. Windows UI automation has different constraints, so behavior is close to Mac-A-Tron but not identical.

Available Actions

Keyboard Shortcut Icon

Keyboard Shortcut

Type text and keyboard shortcuts using the same {curly brace} syntax as Mac-A-Tron.

Keyboard Shortcut Configuration
  • Plain text is typed as-is.
  • {cmd+c} maps to Ctrl+C on Windows, which keeps many chains portable.
  • Clipboard commands such as {grab}, {put}, and buffer transforms are handled by robo.exe.
Transform Text Icon

Transform Text

Apply a Robo text transform to selected text, the whole field, or the clipboard.

  • Source: Selected Text, Whole Field, or Clipboard.
  • Transform: Auto, ROT-13/18, case, trim, line sorting/dedupe, JSON, XML, HTML, URL, Base64, and ASCII extraction.
  • Output: Paste in place or copy to clipboard only.

WinTronic does not include the Mac-only Open in Textulon output option. Transforms run through the bundled Windows robo.exe helper.

Browser Tab Icon

Browser Tab

Switch to an existing browser tab or open a new one if no match is found.

Browser Tab Configuration
  • Select a browser and a target pattern.
  • Match by URL and title, with custom targets for pages you use as apps.
  • Expect slower switching than macOS because Windows browser automation is less direct.

Move the cursor to the active window or a screen anchor.

Move Mouse Configuration
  • Target the active app window or a numbered screen.
  • Move to center or home position.
Move App Icon
