Sorry... I misunderstood you. I though you meant to change the binding
of arrow keys.

Well. It should not be very difficult to adapt the "switch" macro into
a "slides" macro which provides a couple of navigation ``buttons''.
But it would require a little bit of work and scheme hacking to get it
right.

For example, the actions must be disabled (and the color of the arrows
changed accordingly) when the first or last slide. Also, the user
interface should be updated to provide menu items to operate on the
new macro, and the keymaps would have to be adapted to provide uniform
behaviour in "switch" and "slides".

Does someone feel like giving it a try?

That is indeed a planned feature. I cannot say when it will go in,
though.

No problem :-)
