GitPitch supports hands-free slide navigation using remote control devices such as Logitech, Kensington, etc. This feature is especially useful during live presentations at conferences and meetups or when delivering training.
To activate hands-free navigation enable the remote-control setting in the PITCHME.yaml for your slide deck:
remote-control : trueBy default hands-free navigation by remote control devices is disabled.
In order to navigate through the full set of slides in your slide deck your remote control device must emit a stream of Previous and Next events.
The actual key codes emitted by remote control devices for these events can vary. For example, some basic two-button devices emit events that map to Up and Down rather than Previous and Next key codes.
To ensure you can work with any remote control device, GitPitch supports two additional settings:
remote-control-prevkeyremote-control-nextkey
These settings can be used to map navigation events from any remote control device to Previous and Next events required by GitPitch for proper hands-free navigation.
The following PITCHME.yaml settings demonstrate a mapping of the Up (keycode: 38) and Down (keycode: 40) events generated by a remote control device to the required Previous and Next events:
remote-control: true
remote-control-prevkey: 38
remote-control-nextkey: 40
