Hi Eduard,

You can preview the keyboard macro playback on the unstable branch.  There
is a simple example at the very end of the demo.org in the /test
directory.  `dslide-deck-start' and it will show you the rest of the way.
You can also start at point right on that example or skip to it with the
contents view.

I also used `unread-key-events', just with a Laplace distribution based
jittery timer for relatively human-appearing key entry speed.  It's for
"live" tech demos.  You may file an issue for instant playback.  In my rush
to do human speed I forgot some people will just want a normal keyboard
macro.

Do play around with `dslide-kmacro-transcribe-set-mark'.  Every macro you
record will encode a step.  It's extremely satisfying.

I just fixed some bugs and overhauled the start functions.  I'm reluctant
to push master even if I fix the tiny outstanding bug I found.  I need to
revert a small change somewhere that caused a regression in reverse image
reveal when entering the slide in reverse.
