12 years ago ICould you also add the 'F5' (Start presenting) and 'b' (Blank screen) bindings? I see those in a lot of wireless presenters as well.

12 years ago What exactly would those keys do? "Start presenting" = "enter full screen" and "blank screen" = "exit full screen"?
(I actually never owned one of those wireless presenters but always used my mouse or even the keyboard.)

12 years ago The F5 keys switches to 'Full-screen'. In tools like PowerPoint and OpenOffice Impress it means that the presentation starts, Timers are started and the slide to show is displayed in fullscreen on the beamer.
The 'b' key just switches the beamer screen to black and pressing it a second time restores the screen again. This is primary used for 'intermezzo talks', like answering questions when you don't want the current slide to be shown and you don't want to stop the presentation completely.

12 years ago I see. :)
Actually, that's two new features, so I'll open two new tracker items for them.
Given the huge number of wireless presenters, personal tastes and whatnot, the user should be able to configure pdfpres as he wishes to. Currently, the only way to do that is to patch and recompile the program.
The current "switch"-statement in "onKeyPressed" should be configurable. More advanced stuff can only be done using a scripting language but I don't want to turn pdfpres into an application like awesome-wm or luakit.
