Add ability to pass keyboard shortcuts onto PowerPoint
Hello,
We are using OpenLP in a church setting where we also provide a Zoom option for those shut-in from COVID-19. We have recently started getting visitors that don't use English as their first language and have learned that PowerPoint has a live caption and translate feature that puts captions on the screen in a target language while allowing our speakers to speak freely in English. We would like to use this, but I am struggling on how to turn it on and off while using OpenLP. Right now to toggle it on and off using a keyboard shortcut, we must switch over to the presenter view and press the "J" button, or click the button. Unfortunately I see no way for us to pass this keyboard shortcut from OpenLP to the presentation. I know it's sending the keyboard keys for moving slides from one to another, but is there a way we could have this passed along too? We do not wish to have captions on all the time, for example during songs. Is there a way we can have the ability to create new shortcuts that can then be passed onto PowerPoint accordingly?

OpenLP does not send keys through to PowerPoint, it uses the PowerPoint API to change the slides (essentially, it speaks to PowerPoint directly). I don't know if there's a way to enable the captions through the PowerPoint API, we could look and see.
