Play slideshow sends wrong screen to extended display

[okken]

macOS Catalina 10.15.3

Expectation:
Play will full screen speaker notes to laptop and presentation to extended display.

Behavior I'm seeing:
Speaker notes are sent to extended desktop display. Presentation is full screen on laptop.

Also, 'Switch Screens' menu item doesn't seem to do anything.

Very bummed, because this is the exact feature I came here for (and simpler markdown slide files).

Thanks for the report!

Sending to the "wrong" display is somewhat a red herring, as it's impossible to pick a "right" display - it's dependent on how you've got your displays configured. Some people (I'm guessing yourself) use their laptop as their primary display, others (like myself) use the external screen as their primary. Any orientation we pick will be the wrong one for at least some of the audience.

That said - it's something that should also be preserved as a user preference - once you switch a slide deck, your "preferred" orientation should be preserved as a user preference. I'll open a separate feature ticket for this.

More concerning is that the switch screen menu item doesn't work. I've just confirmed that I'm seeing the same behavior, so that's definitely a bug. It's also interesting that the menu item lists CMD-M as the triggering key, which hasn't historically been the key binding - CMD-Tab was (which is what the README currently documents).

The good news: I've just tested CMD-Tab to switch screens, and that worked. So - there's a workaround, but there's also definitely the bug that needs to be resolved.

Wow. Thanks for the quick reply.
On my mac, the switch screens menu item says "command right arrow", but in symbols, of course.
However, CMD-tab did fix it. so THANK YOU!!!
