Re: org-tree-slide: some small changes

[Takaaki ISHIKAWA <takaxp@ieee.org>]

Dear Eric,

Thank you for your kind suggestions.

1. Title without []s.

  Yes! That's right. I'll change it.

2. Custom header.

  Yes! Face control is the next feature that I currently plan.
  I'm trying to resize font so that I can use org-tree-slide in a
  high resolution display like HD(1080p). We can already use C-x C-- or
  C-x C-= by face-remap.el, but this is not sufficient for Japanese users.

3. Skip trees with comments (org-tree-slide-skip-comments).

  Good idea! I'll implement this feature soon.

4. Custom faces for headings.

  Oh… This is not my expected behavior. 
  When you exit the org-tree-slide mode, the default configurations would
  be restored by org-tree-slide-heading-level-2-init or -3-init.
  However, as you know, those changes will apply to all org-mode buffers
  at the same time! Is my understanding correct?
  
5. The default keybindings to moving slides.

  I agree, but I cannot change this because my english keyboard does not
  have the <Page Up> and <Page Down> key :-(
  I usually change the keybindings to <f9> and <f10> by the following setting.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (define-key org-tree-slide-mode-map (kbd "<f9>")
    'org-tree-slide-move-previous-tree)
  (define-key org-tree-slide-mode-map (kbd "<f10>")
    'org-tree-slide-move-next-tree)
  (define-key org-tree-slide-mode-map (kbd "<left>") 'backward-char)
  (define-key org-tree-slide-mode-map (kbd "<right>") 'forward-char)
#+end_src

Best,
Takaaki
