Presenting tabs as if Powerpoint sheets
-
Instead of making presentation sheets, I often cycle through browser tabs for my presentations, often using exclusively live on-line content that already exists, saving loads of time, but it can do with some improvements towards good usability (in my order of preference):
Can you send tab sets other people? Pipe-separated URLs allowed that in a clumsy way in Firefox (through Home location setting)
Is there a way to connect the previous/next sheet buttons on wireless clickers to previous/next tab in Vivaldi, either by Vivaldi itself, or through some shortcut key management outside it?
Sometimes tabs seem to reload when brought to focus. Can this be prevented in some way?
Same question for data:text/html type of content, meaning your own private to machine notes, though maybe https://codepo8.github.io/pastebinzero/ is good enough for that
It could use a temporary overruling of the "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" setting.
Maybe have an auto-generated title sheet including a link and QR to the tabset, maybe even with synching so your audience watches the same slide
All the default cookie/banner/popup functionality should probably be just fine.
Because I want many more people to hear: "I just spent 2 hours making lousy static sheets and you took less than 10 minutes shuffling around some tabs with live content?"

@steltenpower Save a window with all the tabs for the presentation as a session. Sessions can be shared with other Vivaldi users by sending the *.bin file as an archived mail attachment.
Command Chains could be used to set a time to show each tab for a preset time before going on to the next one.
Personally, I would record the presentation of tabs as a video, which can easily be annotated and paused.
One of my sample tutorial videos.

@Pesala Thanks, that is useful for some of my cases. Many of my presentations are about web applications in an interactive form; based on the audience and possible questions I'll work with any of the web applications from within the tab/sheet. It gives some surprised faces, especially the few times I faked starting a Powerpoint at the start

Just find out which keys those clickers are sending and map those to next/previous tab commands. I suspect they are PgUp/PgDown keys, but check for particular clicker.
