Support for speaker mode

Open JanPalasek opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Can you add support for speaker-mode pointer, like it works in powerpoint?

I'd like to make gestures with the pointer in the speaker tab and I want to reflect its position automatically to the main presentation.

Thanks for making the suggestion!

Can you say a little more about what the behavior is you'd like to see? I'm not super familiar with that feature of powerpoint so I'm not sure what is different about it.

@dragonstyle Thanks for the quick response.

  1. You turn on a speaker mode in the presentation (shortcut: s).
  2. You click on the speaker-mode tab.
  3. You turn on the pointer (shortcut: q).
  4. You point on the screen in the speaker mode.
  5. The place where you point in the speaker mode should be reflected to the main presentation.

Example: Check out the image down below. When I point to a location in the speaker mode window, it should reflect it to the presentation for others.

Ahh got it- thanks, This is a great suggestion and would be awesome. I am not 100% sure when I will be able to get to this, but I will try to give it a shot when I can.

I would also really love this; it was the biggest pain point for me trying to use speaker view last time I did a Quarto presentation. A related issue is other interactions---playing videos, previewing links, etc.---aren't synced between the speaker and presentation windows either
