missing navigation option: skip to next slide

[robinparmar]

It appears that there is no navigation option that skips the remaining fragments in a section and immediately loads the next slide. This is useful in two cases:

• as a quick way to resituate oneself in a presentation
• when fragments are being used as optional content one might sometimes wish to skip

Here is an inventory of the four available navigation options, in the forwards direction. (BTW, it would also be helpful if these were explained in this manner in the documentation.)

• next: advances to next fragment, proceeds through all sections, then proceeds to next slide
• down: advances to next fragment, proceeds through all sections, stops at end of slide
• right: advances to next fragment, skips subsequent sections, then proceeds to next slide
• nextFragment: advances to next fragment, skips subsequent sections, stops at end of slide

The "next" and "down" options are certainly useful. I presume that "nextFragment" is included for programmatic reasons. However, it is difficult to see a use case for "right". This can be re-defined as follows.

• right: skips subsequent fragments, skips subsequent sections, proceeds to next slide

That is the functionality I am looking for. And also similar for "left".

Here's the code. Sorry, I am a newbie with github and have no idea how to do anything.

Hope this helps someone nonetheless. This is essentially a simplified version of the existing code, less the checks for fragments.

function navigateLeft() {
    if( availableRoutes().left ) {
        // reverse for RTL
        if( config.rtl ) {
            slide( indexh + 1 );
        } else {
            slide( indexh - 1 );
        }
    }
}

function navigateRight() {
    if( availableRoutes().right ) {
        // reverse for RTL
        if( config.rtl ) {
            slide( indexh - 1 );
        } else {
            slide( indexh + 1 );
        }
    }
}

This is not quite correct either, because cursoring "backwards" ("left" in normal handedness) should position you at the TOP of the previous slide. Here it takes you to the last element of that slide.
