# Skim Remote

## Control Skim with Alfred Remote

 

Out of the box, Skim Remote provides a remote to cover presentation needs in Skim.

 

 

## Roadmap

 

* Direct scrolling is currently unsupported in Alfred Remote, but as soon as it is, I'll add it here.

* I only created icons for the default commands, but I have the template and can create additional ones if there's demand.

* implement goto_bookmark()

 

## Details

 

The heart of the workflow is a single Applescript, SkimUI.scpt, that defines the following handlers:

 

### View

 

single_page()

single_page_continuous()

double_page()

double_page_continuous()

page_breaks_on()

page_breaks_off()

normal_mode()

full_screen_mode()

presentation_mode()

zoom_to_fit()

zoom_in()

zoom_out()

zoom_to(z) where z is the desired zoom (1 = 100%, 0.5 = 50% etc.)

 

### Navigation

 

goto_last_page()

goto_first_page()

next_page()

prev_page()

 

### Info

 

pages()

file_name()

ESC() - used for clearing large type display of pages or file name

 

## Customization

 

The Applescript to call one of these (e.g. file_name) looks like this:

 

set workflowFolder to do shell script "pwd"

set sk to load script POSIX file (workflowFolder & "/SkimUI.scpt")

sk's file_name()

 

This could easily be extended:

 

set workflowFolder to do shell script "pwd"

set sk to load script POSIX file (workflowFolder & "/SkimUI.scpt")

sk's full_screen_mode()

sk's zoom_to(1)

sk's single_page_continuous()

sk's goto_first_page()
