## What Jamie wrote

I've had an Elgato [Stream Deck](https://www.elgato.com/en/stream-deck) for a bit now and this article blew my mind in two ways.

1. Somehow I had no idea you could create profiles and bind them to the foreground application. Whoa! 🤯 I immediately created a handful of profiles for common apps I used and setup custom buttons for each app. Now the handy Zoom buttons I want are always there when I want them!

2. I had never considered using the URLs that Omnifocus supports with the Stream Deck to automate actions. Wow! I've now got 1-button access to many of my favorite perspectives and common functions. 💪

This is enough to make me want a Stream Deck on other computers I use heavily.
