Bug ID: 163426
Summary: notes pane: slides switching hotkeys
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.0.1 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When focus is outside the notes pane, slides can always be switched by pressing
PgUp or PgDown. Inside the notes pane PgUp and PgDown scroll the text.
The following criteria should be fulfilled:
- slides can be switches with the keyboard
- keyboard shortcuts don't depend on which UI element is in focus (at least one
shortcut should always works to switch slides)
- Impress having (mostly) the same keyboard shortcuts as Powerpoint, so users
can easily switch over from MS Office
A common use case might be, when a user has created all slides and is then
looking trough all of them, adding notes for holding the presentation. In this
case the user will add a note to a slide and then move to the next slide.
The current behavior was introduced by this commit to resemble the behavior of
Powerpoint.

Impress behavior:
One other important bit of information might be, that when focus is inside a
text element in the middle "content pane", pressing CTRL-PgUp / CTRL-PgDown
makes the cursor scroll. While pressing only PgUp / PgDown in that situation
switches to the previous / next slide.
