This plugin allows you to customize the Slides Obsidian core plugin (intended for use on the desktop app only).

## Features

- **Customizable Navigation Controls**: Toggle the visibility of left, right, up, and down navigation arrows to remove visual clutter from your presentations.
- **Progress Bar Customization**: Adjust the height of the progress bar to suit your aesthetic preferences, with a default of 10 pixels (up from the default 3 pixels).
- **Left-Align Lists**: Enable left-aligned bulleted and numbered lists in presentation mode for a cleaner, more readable layout, with a 1em left margin for proper spacing.
- **Immediate Keyboard Input**: Automatically switches to reading mode when entering Slides mode so spacebar and arrows work without having to click your presentation, and restores your previous mode (e.g., edit or source) when exiting.

## Installation

1. Clone or download this plugin into your Obsidian vault’s `.obsidian/plugins/` directory.

## Usage

2. **Configure Settings**: Use the settings tab to toggle navigation arrow visibility, set the progress bar height, and enable left-aligned lists.
3. **Start a Presentation**: Open a note with Slides-compatible Markdown (e.g., using `---` for slides) and use the "Slides: Start Presentation" command from the Command Palette.
4. **Using Keys for Navigation**: You can use the spacebar and arrow keys to go between slides as normal and the ESC key will exit your presentation.
