Custom Software (Any Software)
One of Cliqer's most powerful aspects is its versatility. It works with virtually any application, whether it is a web tool in a browser or desktop software that responds to the arrow keys.
How It Works
For any app without its own mode in the Control menu, choose Focused window. Each next or previous press sends the right or left arrow key to the window in front, on Windows and macOS. Any app that moves forward and back with the arrow keys works this way: web presentation tools, PDF viewers, image viewers, teleprompters and your own software.
What's Supported
| Command | Supported |
|---|---|
| Next / Previous (right / left arrow) | Yes |
| First, last or go to a slide | No |
| Black screen | No |
For PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides and vMix, pick their own mode for direct control. See PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides and vMix.

Triggering Cliqer from Other Tools
