670 27. Configuring ProShow: Preferences

Setting up Keyboard and Remote Preferences

When playing back a show as an EXE, you can play, pause, skip, etc. using
your keyboard. Using the preferences, you can configure which keys
perform which action.

Since most presentation remotes work by pretending to press keys, you can
configure ProShow to respond to your remote, allowing you to control
playback with any presentation remote.

Configuring your keyboard or a remote for use with ProShow is an
interactive process. That means that you tell ProShow what button you
want to change, it asks you to press the button, and you press the button
you want to use for that action.

To access these options select Keyboard & Remotes from the list of
preferences.

There are two control sets that you can adjust like this: Navigation and
Audio Control.

If you plan to use a presentation remote with ProShow you will need to set
your remote to emulate buttons on the keyboard. Rather than having the
button inputs set to something remote specific, like ‘Button 1’, set your
remote to use actual keys on the keyboard like Page Up. Consult your
remote’s documentation for information on how to set up your remote.
When this is done you can bind those buttons to actions in ProShow.
