           Summary: Better+consistent usage of presentation/fullscreen key
                    commands
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.10
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mark at tvk.rwth-aachen.de


Version:           0.10 (using 4.4.00 (KDE 4.4.0), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32.9

okular can be used for pdf presentations (aka fullscreen mode) but it should
use command keys like e.g. Openoffice Impress (which is compatible to MS
Powerpoint) to make it more useful with presenter devices.

In this moment Page up/down changes the page, the dot key removes the mouse
cursor, F9 does nothing, F5 reloads the document and escape returns from
fullscreen mode.

This is a little bit inconsistent to Impress, where the mouse cursor
immediately vanishes as the fullscreen mode starts, the dot key creates a black
screen and the F9 key starts fullscreen mode (like F5 does there, but document
reload is ok for F5 in okular as F9 is free).

I own a Logitech Presenter R400 which sends the following keys:
Logitech button    X11 key 
Left    Page Up 
Right    Page Down 
Blank screen    . (ascii dot) 
Start/Stop Presentation    F5 or Esc (this is not quite clear how and if, I
read this information on http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/remote-presenter.html
but xev doesn't show any input at all from this device, I have to find another
way to dump the input from this device)
