Adding support for remote presenters #12

Closed miroth closed 11 years ago

In detail, this adds the following keys: F5 and Esc to quit the program, Next and previous to navigate slides, Period sign for blanking the screen.

Those are the keys used by my presenter. Since those are standard keys in Powerpoint, I suppose other presenters use the same keys.

You do know that you can edit the key bindings to your liking, right?

I just thought it would be nice if this would work out of the box, but ok, I did't mean any harm.

Otherwise, I have to say that Slider is the best tool for my purposes that I found in a long, long time. Thanks for the work!

I've recieved a lot of requests to change the default bindings. One might suspect this means the defaults are poorly chosen - but every single one of these requests has completely different suggestions.

Everyone has different favorit key bindings - that's why I made it easy to reconfigure them before compiling. Many of these requests have made some sort of reference to some set of standard keys - but none of those are standard, they just happen to be what that user was familiar with.

I just put in some code for reading a runtime configuration file.

Copy the sliderrc file to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/slider/config, ~/.config/slider/config, or ~/.sliderrc, edit it to your liking, and compile with make experimental.

Once this gets some testing, it will move into the main build.
