I had much the same problems, but I came up with a different solution: https://gitlab.com/stavros/itsalive https://gitlab.com/stavros/itsalive It's a Live is a piece of software that lets you prerecord all your commands (by typing them all up in a simple text file) and then replays them when you press keys on the keyboard. If you run through a rehearsal once or twice, there's no risk of exposing anything (since it'll always replay the presentation the same way), and it has some niceties like showing you the previous/current/next commands, allows you to take over control and resume easily, etc. I quite like it.
