Projector mode

[Cristian Măgherușan-Stanciu]

I have seen a colleague running some Mac terminal software (no idea which one), and it had a "Projector mode", basically a shortcut key that does the following:

- increase the font to some size that looks good on projectors
- set the color scheme to black on white background, regardless of the current settings

When pressing the shortcut again everything should restore to the usual settings.

The shortcut should be chosen wisely, to something not usually set by mainstream window managers, like for example Alt-Shift-F11 or whatever else is free.

I am running terminator 0.97 on Ubuntu 13.10, and I don't have this feature, or at least I couldn't see it in my settings. Please instruct me how to use it in case it's already there.

Thanks!

Just thinking on this, this would be fairly trivial to implement. A short cut that toggled between the current profile, and a configured "presentation" profile. As to the actual short cut, I would probably not define one by default and leave it up to the end-user to pick one that makes sense to them.

I just saw your update and that reminded me to comment.

I have it implemented on my machine just like that, and I see no problem in pre-creating this kind of presentation profile with some sane defaults in the default installation, then allow the users to tweak it in their preferences if they feel the need.

Also, it would be nice to have a new key shortcut for cycling between the currently defined profiles.
