Commands:
  create <talk>

We can see that there are several options, that the "talk" consists of a directory (if not specified, SliDesk takes the current directory) and that there is a command to create talks.

As far as options are concerned, the one that will undoubtedly be most frequently used is -n, which generates the Speaker view. Coupled with the -t option, this will enable you to better manage your time via the checkpoints defined in your presentation, as seen above.

To simplify the call, you can use a simplified syntax:

slidesk -tn

Which combines the -t and -n options.
