This used to be ‘p’, but I replaced that to get the overview of pages, which I think is better for Presentation mode. > - The laser pointer is too big for my taste, but maybe ok for others. > I would have it half the current size.

I really would have made the dot more fuzzy (and therefore smaller looking), but the system really wants to put a shadow behind it, which makes it ugly when it is too fuzzy. > - How about making 't' toggle OUT of contents mode?

It stands for Thumbnails, or Table of Contents. ’t’ to get out of out is not possible *(unless you first move the focus back to the PDF), because the various views eat up the single character key events. > - How about 'h' and '?' for a help menu of the above toggles? > (including 'h' and '?' of course) > A bit circular, and I would not know what a help menu would look like.

But the mouse pointer > disappears after moving around a little! Looks like a bug! This really is a bug in the system, it keeps hiding or unhiding the mouse when we tell it do the opposite. We already have a ton of workarounds to fight against the system, but it keeps finding new ways to mess with it. > Like 't' > this should be a toggle.

BTW, to get rid of some thing, the standard shortcut us Escape, which we implement in various places such as the pages Overview and the contents pane, as well as fullscreen and Presentation modes. > A list so far for the help display (in alphabetic-ish order): > > b - black screen (toggle) > e - jump to end of slides > h - help (this display, toggle) > l - laser = red circle for mouse pointer (lower case 'L') (toggle) > p - table of contents in rows over whole screen (toggle) > s - jump to start of slides > t - table of contents on left side (toggle) > ? - help (this display, toggle) >> - increase laser circle size (could be '.' too) > < - decrease laser circle size (could be ',' too) > > Tom Cf the Wiki Christiaan _______________________________________________ Skim-app-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/skim-app-users
