How can a teacher best control his computer while lecturing?
I want to be able to easily open specific files, navigate file explorer, enter simple entries into programs, and maybe even search for something.
I've thought about voice controls, but I don't think any are very good.
I don't care if its on linux or windows.
Spotlight search on osx.. There are some shitty clones on Linux (rofi, etc) but spotlight will always be the best

It's best to teach your students out of your memory or reading directly from books - you don't need a computer, unless you're shit and you want to produce shitty drones.
Use Everything to search for stuff.

Oh so you're Indian - what are you going to teach? How to build toilets?
What are you trying to communicate?
My PhD advisor honestly just screen-captures the snippets of stuff he wants to show to the class (there's so much that can go wrong when you're live that it's just taunting Murphy's law. You can also cut ahead or something if you want, so you don't waste people's time typing shit into the terminal, realizing you typo'd something, etc...
If you want to demonstrate something (e.g. show how to navigate some program or whatever), you *can* still screen-capture it, but you don't want to cut corners. So maybe it would be fine to record just to avoid anything wonky happening during the lecture, but don't speed up or cut together anything or people will get lost trying to follow you.
I've seen precisely one person give a live demo during a talk (a friend/other advisee in my lab) and he practiced the talk and that demo at least a dozen times. and it was just typing some shit into python's REPL to demonstrate a package

Trying to push autistic, immature anime culture doesn't make you right or cool. Just clueless and probably underage.

What kind of school do you go to? I go to a shitty state uni and study cs and my professors basically do "live" demos basically the entire time. One of my professors was autistic and he wrote the program that he used to weight grades right in front of us

exactly what kind of anime culture are you talking about right now, newfriend?

Hi, you are ruining education. Please turn the computers off, and use a fucking chalk board, thanks.
