Hi Ronen, I can't help you with your LyX questions because I know little about the LyX authoring environment, but I can give you one tip that's helped me a heck of a lot. When presenting, I use one of those wireless optical mice they sell for between $10 and $20. I make sure the mouse is: 1) 1000dpi and 2) Can be used up to 30 meters away. 3) Has a scroll wheel between the left and right mouse buttons Then I can use the mouse normally while I'm at the computer, but can walk around the audience using the left and right mouse button to advance or go back a slide (I use Evince with a PDF presentation, so this works). Also, I can use the scroll wheel to quickly advance or go backward. I'm not sure how well this would adapt to LyX as the presentation medium, but it's worth a try. HTH SteveT
