Hi Cor,
I am not sure about the correct discussion place either. Maybe the task itself?
Anyway -

- for me it looks as an advantange over the competition(1), if the functions Next Slide and Previous Slide can be used with a key command as well. If only it be a single one.

We will add Alt-PageUp/Down to jumpt to the prev/next slide by skipping all effects. Hope this meets you expectations.

- The key-command BackSpace will transit from End Slide Show to eventually Previous Effect (OOo Future). IMO it doesn't make things more clear (for the user) if this transistion is via 2.0.3.

Some users are used to the keybinfings of the competition. A Backsapce in PowerPoint does PREVIOUS EFFECT. In OOo it breaks out of the running slide show. Just imagine the surprise if you are used to BS and get the edit mode of the presentation. A bad user experience during the presentation session is the result. That's the reason why I proposed (and specidied) a new behaviour for BackSpace.

kind regards
Matthias

Title   : Controlling Slide Show

Location: http://specs.openoffice.org/impress/slideshow/ControllingSlideShow.odt

Status  : preliminarey for OOo 2.0.3

Abstract:
During presentations users expect a keyboard mapping of competing applications to proceed to the next animation effect or slide. Furthermore, remote presentation control devices are mapped to PageUp/PageDown keys. OOo Impress will conform to this conventions to meet the expectation of the user and to support a presentation style where the presenter can be away from her laptop.
