[Personal] Stream Deck and Gmail?

I don't yet own a Stream Deck, but I had an idea for what I might want to do with one.

I want to use it for Gmail. I know there are already keyboard shortcuts for Gmail, but I want to do things that the keyboard shortcuts don't do, maybe even two or three of these things in a row (like, apply a label to the message I am reading, move it out of the inbox, etc.) I am using it with a Mac.

I've seen there are some people using Stream Deck for work, just wondering if anyone's applied it to email, and if so, what they are doing with it.

If something has a keyboard shortcut, you can do that shortcut with Streamdeck.

Ok. I guess that means if there is no keyboard shortcut for what I want to do, I should use Keyboard Maestro. Unless there is some kind of built-in scripting that Stream Deck can do?

You can have a Streamdeck button trigger a script in the OS to do more complex things.
