autocue is a program which takes a simple text file as input, and
|
||
|
|
outputs its contents, broken up into paragraphs, and formatted by fmt,
|
||
|
|
into xcb's cut buffers. From there, the text can be pasted with a
|
||
|
|
simple mouse click. autocue will then wait for a period of time
|
||
|
|
relative to the size of the text, before moving onto the next
|
||
|
|
paragraph. Successive cut buffers will be used, and then will wrap
|
||
|
|
to the beginning.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The speed can be varied whilst the program is running - by sending
|
||
|
|
a SIGUSR1 to the process, autocue will go faster. Sending a SIGUSR2
|
||
|
|
to the process will make it go slower.

This program can be used to scroll a presentation, along with timing
|
||
|
|
information (a beep is sounded when the next buffer should be pasted),
|
||
|
|
and the presenter can simply paste into the presentation window.
