It makes complete sense to me to switch apps during presentations. I can
switch to VLC to show a movie, or to the Terminal to make a demo. This is
vital for me.
Apple's own idea of presentation mode is really unsatisfactory (they mostly
think about people showing their photos to their friends, I suppose), and
that is why I use skim in the first place.
Would you consider adding a preference (possibly a hidden one) to allow the
switching to other apps in presentation mode?
I am not completely illiterate in cocoa programming so I might help if you
point me to the right direction (and agree with such a change).
Thank you!
