Each rule contains Application name, Window Title, and the Profile to switch to.

App name and Window Title:

  • Type the keyword you want to match
  • NOT case sensitive

Jump-to Profile:

  • Profile Name to switch to when matched.
    • Full Name
    • Case Sensitive

Click Save when done.

Current active window and a list of all windows are provided for reference.

Back to the main window, duckyPad should now automatically switch profile once a rule is matched!

  • Rules are evaluated from top to bottom, and stops at first match!

That's pretty much it! Just leave the app running and duckyPad will do its thing!
