Ability to remap keys

[colindean]

I just got a Logitech r400 presentation remote. It's not the fanciest thing out there, but it was a gift and I'd like to give it a shot.

Trying to use it with Rabbit is a little... frustrating. There are four buttons:

• Previous Slide - sends Page Up
• Next Slide - sends Page Down
• Play - sends F5 and ESC simultaneously (according to some posts on Amazon)
• Blackout - sends .

It'd be awesome if I could remap some of these, especially the play and the blackout. F5 fullscreens Rabbit 👍 but if the ESC hits first, the presentation exists 😧 😱

It'd be great if I could execute rabbit with something like --keymap F5=fullscreen --keymap ESC=none --keymap .=black to handle the remapping. That'd be something I could put in my startup script.

Rabbit supports changing key bindings in theme.

I created a theme for Logicool Wireless Presenter. Try the following:

(I assume that you use rabbit-slide command to create initial files for Rabbit slide.)

Add runtime dependency to rabbit-theme-logicool-wireless-presenter in Rakefile:

# ...
Rabbit::Task::Slide.new do |task|
  spec = task.spec
  # ...
  spec.add_runtime_dependency("rabbit-theme-logicool-wireless-presenter")
  # ...
end
# ...

Use custom theme by specifying . as theme name in your slide. Here is an example for RD:

= Presentation title

# ...
: theme
   .
# ...

= First slide

# ...

Put include_theme("logicool-wireless-presenter") in ./theme.rb (. theme name means that "Rabbit loads theme.rb file in the current directory as theme file".):

# ./theme.rb
include_theme("logicool-wireless-presenter")
include_theme("default") # If you want to use "default" theme.
# ...
