This is a little tool for live coding presentations.
I like to see the IDE on my laptop screen. But I don’t want to duplicate the screen, so I can see my private notes.
I could not find such a tool, so I created this.
By default the primary screen is duplicated to a window.
Interactions:
-
Move the window whereever you need it. Beamers for live coding and presentations.
-
You can resize the window as you like. This changes the portion of the screen that is visible.
-
Double Left Mouseclick maximizes the window.
-
Maximized window looses the window frame. Ideal for presentations.
-
Ctrl + Mousewheel ↕/+/- allows you to zoom
-
CtrlShift + Mousewheel ↕ zooms in smaller steps
-
Ctrl + 0 reset zoom to 1:1
-
Shift + Left Mouse Button + Dragging ⇔⇕ allows you to move the visible portion
-
2×Right Mouse Button + [Focus other Window] will position and resize the other window into the mirrored area. Not all windows will like this.
-
Shift + ←/↑/→/↓ aligns the mirrored image to the border
-
Shift + Right Mouse Button toggle a visualisation of the captured area
-
Ctrl + P toggle pause. Freezes the image.
The tool is optimized to be very response and save CPU time.
The tool was build using Visual Studio 2017. I made use of modern C++ 14 and beyond features.
The only other thing you need is the DirectX and Windows and WRL headers. All included in the Windows 10 SDK.
