--- Comment #18 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

Usually there are some indicators of the currently active slide. First of all,
the thumbnail is highlighted but we also show the "Page n of m" information in
the left-most panel of the statusbar. 

The proposed UNO command extends the UNO API unnecessarily, and pressing some
key combinations would be quite unusual anyway. Adding a button to the slide
panel, for example next to the close button (x), has an acceptable low impact
on the UI.

But the issue actually happens when the slide loses focus, eg. by clicking
white space in the slide sorter. Then both information are gone (the slide pane
highlighting is still okay on Windows and Linux/kf5 with a clear blue frame).

So what we should do is to a) always show the statusbar information what slide
is active, and b) have no white space in the slide panel.

Recommendation is to change the summary into "Keep active slide in focus". 

(Leaving status unconfirmed for the current "re-center the list" request that
is rather WF.)
