Created attachment 181321 [details] Section of Help Screen
The help screen in presentation mode says that the screen can be made black or white with B . W , (like in PowerPoint). Nothing happens when pressing these keys during presentation. I am using a Swiss German keyboard layout on a MacBook Air, macOS 12.4.
Hi, I tried to bump this to major, as it has gotten no attention in 6 months, seems easy to fix, and is an impairment while presenting. I would like to black out the screen to avoid distraction by slides during discussions with a button press. Then come back to the slide with a simple button press. This is promised by the help screen, but doesn't work. I wasn't allowed to change the Importance for lack of permissions.
Can not confirm Does it occur in 7.5? Version: 7.5.1.2 (AARCH64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129 CPU threads: 10; OS: Mac OS X 13.2.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Forgot to set as NeedInfo Please test in latest 7.5 and see if you still have the issue
Thank you for following up. Yes, I just tested with Version: 7.5.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: fcbaee479e84c6cd81291587d2ee68cba099e129 CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 13.2.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx Locale: de-CH (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded The bug is still there. In addition, using number keys to jump to a slide number doesn't work, e.g. pressing 1 and then enter jumps to slide 11, 2 to 22. I just found out, that it woks fine on my notebook without using the external screen. It doesn't work with extended Desktop (notebook+projector for example).

You are correct The b and w shortcut keys don't work If I however click on the screen that shows the presentation, and then try b or w it works So somehow this doesn't work if the presenter view is active/focused
This is correct, the focus needs to be on the presentation screen, then it works. Unfortunately, when starting the presentation, the focus is not on the presentation screen (for some other reason probably). Ideally, this would also work when the focus is on the speaker screen. Or at least start with the focus on the presentation screen. 723314e Version 7.4.7.2, tag libreoffice-7.4.7.2 by Christian Lohmaier · 5 months ago libreoffice-7.4.7.2
