Support for "Blank Screen" Command #33

Closed Flowdalic closed 12 years ago

Flowdalic commented 12 years ago

Evince (and many other PDF viewers) have a "Blank Screen" Feature, that shows a black screen when activated. The idea is that the audience shouldn't be distracted by the presentation when showing stuff on the white/black board or so.

The default key for this command is ".". Which is exactly what the Logitech presenters R400/R800 issue when pressing the "blank screen" button. This works without configuration, out of the box with evince. It would be nice if pdfPres supports that too. :-)

Here is the xev output when pressing the button the the R800:

KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
    root 0xb2, subw 0x0, time 1116536, (1180,374), root:(1182,400),
    state 0x0, keycode 60 (keysym 0x2e, period), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2e) "."
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2e) "."
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
    root 0xb2, subw 0x0, time 1116696, (1180,374), root:(1182,400),
    state 0x0, keycode 60 (keysym 0x2e, period), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2e) "."
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Oh sorry, I just saw that this is already done by the "b" key. So this is most likely a duplicate of Issue 23 and Issue 25. Sorry for the noise.
