Full description

org-present-mode

This is meant to be an extremely minimalist presentation tool for Emacs org-mode. Simply layout your presentation with each slide under a top-level header, start the minor mode with 'org-present', and page through each slide with left/right keys.

Philosophy

Most of the time I'm giving a talk, it is a work in progress and I want to be be able to edit as I go along. Also, to split my frame and work on code examples with my slides still visible.

Configuration

Add something like this to your emacs config:

lisp (add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/org-present") (autoload 'org-present "org-present" nil t)

Precise behaviour of org-present during start and quit is controlled from hooks. The following will enlarge text, show images, hide the cursor and make the buffer read-only:

lisp (eval-after-load "org-present" '(progn (add-hook 'org-present-mode-hook (lambda () (org-present-big) (org-display-inline-images) (org-present-hide-cursor) (org-present-read-only))) (add-hook 'org-present-mode-quit-hook (lambda () (org-present-small) (org-remove-inline-images) (org-present-show-cursor) (org-present-read-write)))))

Then start the minor mode with:

M-x org-present

Keys are: - left/right for movement - C-c C-= for large txt - C-c C-- for small text - C-c C-q for quit (which will return you back to vanilla org-mode) - C-c < and C-c > to jump to first/last slide - C-c C-r set slides read only - C-c C-w allow writing on slides

Beautification

This works well with hide-mode-line, which hides the mode-line when only one frame and buffer are open.

If you're on a Mac with an older emacs you might also want to look at the fullscreen patch. toggle-frame-fullscreen comes with emacs 24.
