A very simple RevealJS plugin extension that adds support for switching the cursor to a 'pointer' style element while presenting.
$ quarto add quarto-ext/pointer
This will install the extension under the _extensions subdirectory. If you're using version control, you will want to check in this directory.
Simply add the extension to the list of reveal plugins like:
title: My Presentation
format:
revealjs: default
pointer:
- # set pointer configuration options here
revealjs-plugins:
- pointer
By default, you can activate the pointer mode by pressing the 'q' key while viewing the presentation. When activated, a 16px red pointer will be used as a cursor. Press the 'q' key once again to reactivate the standard cursor.
You can control the color and appearance of the pointer by passing some additional options under a pointer key.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
key |
What key should be used to activate and deactivate the pointer. Defaults to q. |
color |
A CSS color name that provides the color used when the pointer is activated. Defaults to red. |
pointerSize |
The size of the pointer in pixels (please do not include units). Defaults to 16. |
alwaysVisible |
Whether the pointer should always be visible, or disappear after it stops moving for a moment. Defaults to 'false'. |
