NAME
pdfpcrc - pdfpc configuration file

DESCRIPTION

pdfpc(1) first reads its system-wide configuration file, followed by the user-specific one if it exists.

  Keybindings

The following commands are accepted:

bind <key> <func> [<arg>]
    Bind a key to a function, passing a specified argument for functions which require one

unbind <key>
    Unbind the given key

unbind_all
    Clear all the key bindings

mouse <button> <func>
    Bind a mouse button to a function

unmouse <button>
    Unbind a mouse button

unmouse_all
    Clear all the mouse bindings

A list of all possible functions can be obtained via the -L command line option of pdfpc(1).

  Options

Some permanent changes can be configured via the config file. The syntax is:

option <option_name> <option_value>

The following option_name's are recognized:

black-on-end
    Add an additional black slide at the end of the presentation (bool, Default is false).

current-height
    Percentage of the height of the presenter screen to be used for the current slide (int, Default is 80).

current-size
    Percentage of the presenter screen to be used for the current slide (int, Default is 60).

disable-caching
    see pdfpc(1)

disable-compression
    see pdfpc(1)

disable-input-autodetection
    Do not automatically detect type (pen or eraser) of tablet input devices (bool, Default is false).

disable-scrolling
    Disable scrolling events on the presenter window (bool, Default is false).

enable-auto-srt-load
    Try loading video subtitle files automatically. For each video media, pdfpc will append ".srt" to the media URI and attempt to load a subtitle file (in the SRT format) from that location (bool, Default is false).

move-on-mapped
    Dual-monitor full-screen window placement is a tricky business. Some window managers (e.g., FVWM) ignore the placement if made before the window is shown. This option enables a workaround (bool, Default is false).

next-height
    Percentage of the height of the presenter screen to be used for the next slide (int, Default is 70).

overview-min-size
    Minimum width for the overview miniatures, in pixels (int, Default is 150).

pointer-color
    Set the pointer color. Can be a literal color name or a #rrggbb representation (default is red).

pointer-opacity
    Set the pointer opacity in percent (int, default is 50).

pointer-size
    Set the initial pointer size, in pixels (int, default is 10).

presentation-screen
    Screen to be used for the presentation (output name, see e.g. "xrandr --listmonitors").

presenter-screen
    Screen to be used for the presenter (output name).

switch-screens
    Switch the presentation and the presenter screen (bool, Default is false).

time-of-day
    Display the current time instead of the timer

timer-pace-color
    Enable color hints of the timer, continuously indicating whether the presentation is progressing according to the expected pace (bool, Default is true). See the timer operation description in pdfpc(1).

toolbox
    Show the toolbox on startup (bool, Default is false).

toolbox-direction
    Set the toolbox direction. LtoR, RtoL, TtoB, or BtoT for the left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, or botton-to-top, respectively (Default is LtoR).

toolbox-minimized
    Set the initial toolbox state minimized (bool, Default is false).

EXAMPLES

Key names can be obtained with the help of the xev utility. Note that names are case sensitive. Modifiers can be specified in the form <mod>+<key> where <mod> is one of S (for shift), C (for control) and A/M (for Alt/Meta). E.g.

    bind S+Next next10

A shorthand for specifying key combinations constituting shift and an alphabetic character is to simply give the uppercase version of the alphabetic character. For example, to bind <shift>+r to the 'reset' function, use

    bind R reset

To always activate the black-on-end option, one could add the following to the config file

    option black-on-end true

FILES

/etc/pdfpcrc
    System-wide configuration file

$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/pdfpc/pdfpcrc
    User configuration file (if $XDG_CONFIG_DIR is not set, $HOME/.config will be used).
