I loved the slideshow remote feature after discovering it recently. I can see this being a quick replacement for my hardware presenter, except for one missing feature: a pointer.

It'd be great if the cursor control from the "remote input" plugin could be combined with "slideshow remote".
* I don't know how hard this is, but on activating "slideshow remote", the mouse pointer on the laptop screen should change to a visible red dot similar to what google slides allows and how the laser in a hardware pointer works. Bonus if the color can be configured.
* I tried navigating the normal mouse pointer using the "remote input" plugin, but the speed/acceleration of the pointer was that great. The combined plugin should allow easy navigation through the entire presentation screen area easily enough.

(Using version 1.12.7 on Android currently)
