The Presenter Mac Trackpad Layout

Presenter is for the minutes before a talk and the hour during it. A two-finger tap advances, a swipe goes back, the top-right corner mutes the room, and the top-left corner captures the slide.

How to apply

Three steps.

01

Open TrackStudio

Launch the app and open the scene you want to change.

02

Open Recipes

Choose the book icon in the sidebar, then select Presenter.

03

Apply and edit

Apply it to the scene. Change any trigger in Canvas; the recipe is a starting point.

Who it is for

Is this your layout?

Use Presenter if you run Keynote, PowerPoint, or a browser deck and want the trackpad to behave like a clicker without hiding the rest of the Mac.

What to change

Make it yours.

If you use a clicker, keep the trackpad for screenshots and mute only. If you present in a browser, test the next and previous slide actions against that deck before the talk.

Questions

Before you apply it.

Does it work with Keynote?

Yes. Keynote receives the next and previous slide shortcuts. Test it once in presenter mode before the talk.

Can I mute the microphone?

No. The Mute action mutes system audio output. Use the call app for microphone mute.

What if the deck uses different shortcuts?

Change the two actions in Canvas to the shortcuts your deck uses. The recipe is a starting point.
