I think I'm a show-off person, and usually do presentations to my friends. In this [post](/2011/03/28/learn-presentation-skills-from-masters/) I mentioned it's cool to make slide with dark theme or something, but sometimes it won't be clear enough while putting on projector, and I have to change various settings everytime, that looks not cool and not professional at all.

Thanks for [Mike Skalnik](https://github.com/skalnik), I stole this idea from his Vim config :)

I recorded this video to demonstrate how it looks like. (You might need to change the video to higher resolution if you wanna know what I typed.)

Just press `<leader>z`, I can toggle between working mode and presentation mode in a second.

It's actually not a very big deal, you can check the [source code](https://github.com/kaochenlong/eddie-vim/blob/master/plugin/settings/PresentationMode.vim) to see how to do it. Althought it only works on GUI version Vim (cause I don't know how to modify font size in terminal version Vim programmatically), but still quite convenient for myself.

I'm really SHOW-OFF, huh? :)
