--- Comment #37 from RichardNeill <libreoffice at richardneill.org> ---
Can I please reemphasise how much this would improve the process of making
slides! I literally switch to and from the notes mode every few seconds while
editing, and it turns a reasonably smooth process into a very, very painstaking
one. 

Like many, I don't treat the notes as "a commentary on the slide added after
the fact, or a placeholder for footnotes", I use it to contain and edit the
actual body of my speech. To me, the "Speaker notes" are "the single most
important part of the presentation and how I edit and design the structure; in
fact the "Normal" graphic is merely the visual-aids that go with the speech".

At the moment, it feels like having to use the "vi" editor, or typing in Baudot
code, where you have to do a mode-switch dozens of times a minute, just to
achieve the simplest thing. 

Google slides gets this one right.

I'll gladly offer £1k for a fix.
