------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jun 25 23:33:10 -0700 2006 ------- The Logitech Cordless Presenter 2,4 GHz is a wireless device used to remote control a presentation. Among others, it has two keys [>] and [<] to step forward and backward through a presentation by sending [PageDown] resp. [PageUp] to the presentation program. There are probably other devices with the same functionality on the market. However, while this is fine for M$ Powerpoint presentations, it won't work with OOo if a slide contains animations that need additionals clicks to start. The reason is that [PageDown] key does not proceed to the next animation on the same slide but to the next slide instead - skipping the animations on the current one. (A similar problem is with the device's "black screen" functionality: It sends a '.' while OOo expects a 'b'. I help myself with xmodmap (under the X Window System) to redefine the keys: The [PageDown] key will generate a [space], and the [.] key will generate a [b]. This is of course very clumsy and has severe impacts on other applications. Command to change the key mappings: xmodmap -e "keycode 105 = space Next" -e "keycode 60 = b colon period division period division" Command to restore the key mappings: xmodmap -e "keycode 105 = Next" -e "keycode 60 = period colon periodcentered division periodcentered division" I suggest to add a toggle button to establish complete Powerpoint compatibility in the presentation mode, i.e. accept [PageDown] to proceed to the next animation and accept [.] to switch to "black screen". An even better or at least more flexible enhancement would be to give the user full control over which key should have which functionality in presentation mode. It seems not to be possible to do this with OOo's "normal" key mapping feature. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
