mouse or pedal support

Fabster

Hi folks,

I just wanted to know if there is any way to switch the slides with a mouse button or a presentation pointer, or even better with a foot pedal? If yes, how do I configure that in OpenLP (for the moment I need to hit the down-key). And which pedal can you recommend?

God bless!

@Fabster I use a a presentation clicker and others have used `programable clickers,` so in principle it is possible. You can configure OpenLP to accept different keystrokes in the Configure Shortcuts menu.

See for example Airturn bluetooth pedals:

I haven’t tested it myself, but they claim you can „Create commands for almost any app that responds to keystrokes, macros, mouse clicks, or MIDI with the free AirTurn Manager.“

Slightly complicated but also possible:

Then you can use any MIDI controler you like.

Thanks for the answers, I will look into an Airturn pedal.

While waiting, any hints for how to program OpenLP so that I can change slides with a mouse click?

@Fabster my clicker was made for PowerPoint and has up/down and left/right I didn't have to do anything to OpenLP. The one suggestion I have is to go into settings and set it so it goes to the next service item when you get to the last slide in a service item.
