I wonder how it is possible to navigate through two Skim windows with
a single keystroke. Probably that can be achieved via AppleScript and
some tweaking, however, I'm mostly ignorant of AppleScript'ing; so
maybe somebody has a quick solution...
Background: I'm doing a lot of presentations prepared with LaTeX
(mostly beamer class) as PDF documents. What I want to achieve is a
"presentation mode" setup, such as the ones available in MS
PowerPoint, Apple's Keynote or OpenOffice's Impress:
with two displays (typically built-in TFT and a projector), you show
a single page on one of them (projector), and a "pre-/postview" of
the current plus some (configurable number) next and/or previous pages
on the other (built-in) display; sometimes the latter can also contain
speaker's notes.
The material to be displayed in the "speaker's view" window can be
produced rather easily using LaTeX (e.g., beamer) and some tweaking
via pdfnup.
I would then fire up 2 Skim windows, one on each display, turn them
both into presentation mode (I can come as far as that); then I need
one keystroke (e.g., cursor up/down) to be "forwarded" to both
windows, so that they scroll "in sync".
The functionality could be usefull for other purposes as well, e.g.,
for an intellectual "visual diff" of two almost identical PDF documents.
Anybody out there who is fluent with AppleScript and willing to help?
Thanks
