Bluetooth pointer

astroMD · February 2013

Hi there,

We tried to use a bluetooth pointer with OpenLP and, even though it works just fine with Keynote (I'm using Mac OS X 10.8), it wouldn't do anything for LP using the default settings. Any ideas?

By the way, this is the pointer we tried to use.

As long as it is configured to press the right keys, and OpenLP is configured to respond to the right keys, I don't see why it shouldn't work.

I couldn't figure out any combination of keys that OpenLP would recognize. I tried Page Up, Page Down, Left, Right, Up, Down...you name it.We may have to just pair up a Bluetooth keyboard instead.

In OpenLP, go into Settings -> Configure Shortcuts.

Go down to the Live Toolbar section and click the Next Slide (or Previous Slide) line.

At the bottom alongside the Custom option, there are some buttons labelled Down/PgDown or Up/PgUp. Click the one you don't want to use when advancing with the keyboard.

Then with the Bluetooth clicker, click the next slide button. The shortcut dialog should hopefully update the button label with whatever keypress the clicker sends.

Then click OK.

Thanks gushie. I will give it a go again this weekend.
