[libreoffice-users] How to switch between impress slideshow and another application
Hello, Sometimes during my presentations I need to show another program e.g. a web browser or a programming language window. I read somewhere that alt tab should allow me to switch between applications even during a slide show, but while alt tab works for me normally, it does not work during a slide show. I don't care whether I use alt tab or some other sequence, as long as I can easily switch between applications and come back to my slide show where I left off. Any suggestions? I'm on Ubuntu 13.10, Libre Office 4.1.2.3 Thanks, Michael -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

I'm on Ubuntu 13.10, Libre Office 4.1.2.3 Hm. Alt+Tab should work (it does for me), but I'm not on Unity, so who know :) Anyway, what *might* work is switching to a different desktop. It might be something like Ctrl+F2. On KDE, both ways works (I'm more in favor of switching desktop, because in this case it's possible to prepare the content beforehand). On Unity (or other WM), this second solution might work where Alt+Tab doesn't. -- Cley Faye http://cleyfaye.net -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Now I can switch between my presentation and my Arduino IDE quickly. (I originally installed Xubuntu and then added the Gnome desktop and Unity, and every so often I run into some oddness that may be caused by not having installed Gnome from the start. So far it's not been enough of a nuisance to re-install) Thanks!

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to switch between impress slideshow and another application
Hi :) I doubt it's possible for anyone to remember them all. Just knowing that there is a combination of a thing and having a vague idea about what it might be called is enough to help me google it. There is a combination for calling up a display of some of the shortcuts but i keep forgetting what that one is! ;) Regards from Tom :) On 25 November 2013 01:05, Michael Shiloh michaelshiloh1...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for the tip. I didn't realize that Ctrl Alt and keyboard arrows would switch; that's even easier than the shortcut I set up. So many shortcuts, so little room left in my brain :-) Thanks Tom and Cley!
