* Engine: file.info and PowerPoint-style print slide ranges (#76) file.info reports what File › Info shows (name, path, format, unsaved changes, slide and hidden-slide counts, sections, size on disk, properties). file.export's PDF `slides` also takes the range typed in PowerPoint's Print page ("1-3, 5", 1-based); bad or out-of-range text is an error instead of a silent full export. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * UI: the File tab (Backstage) like PowerPoint's (#76) File (first ribbon tab) or Alt+F opens a full-window view in place of the ribbon, slides and status bar: a side menu (Back, Home, New, Open, Info, Save, Save As, Print, Export, Close; Account and Options at the bottom) and the chosen page. Esc or Back returns; Up/Down walk the side menu and show each page as it gets the focus; Enter runs Save/Close/Options. Laid out after PowerPoint for Windows as observed: 160-pt menu a step darker than the page, outline icons, current page in the accent colour. The start screen is now File › Home (as in PowerPoint), with only Home, New and Open at the top and no Back. Pages call existing commands and file helpers: file.new {theme} and the sample deck (Home, New); recent files with search, Browse and Recover Unsaved (Open); file.info and file.properties, Accessibility Checker, Revert (Info); file.save / file.saveAs / file.export by type (Save, Save As); a PDF with the Print page's slides, layout (full page, notes, handouts 1-9), hidden slides and frames, opened in the system viewer or downloaded on the web, with a page preview (Print, Ctrl+P); Create PDF, Create Handouts and Change File Type (Export); appearance and About (Account); Preferences (Options). Share (cloud) is left out. Close and Ctrl+W now ask Save / Don't Save / Cancel about unsaved changes instead of closing at once. The Export dialog shares SlideApp::export_as with the Export page. New UI commands: app.backstage {page}, app.closePresentation, app.print; ui.inspect reports the page. New icons drawn in code: back, save as, account, recent, new file, open folder.

Control protocol
Start the app with --control <port>. The server listens on 127.0.0.1 only and speaks JSON
lines: one request object per line, one reply per line.
{"id": 1, "method": "engine.execute", "params": {"command": "shape.insert", "params": {"preset": "roundRect", "rect": [100, 100, 240, 120], "text": "Hello"}}}
{"id": 1, "ok": true, "result": {"id": 258}}
Coordinates are slide points (1/72 inch; a 16:9 slide is 960 × 540) unless noted.
| Method | Params | What it does |
|---|---|---|
engine.execute / ui.menu.invoke / command |
{command, params} |
Run any command (see engine.commands; deckcraft-cli describe ID documents one) |
engine.commands |
— | Every command: id, label, menu path, shortcut, params doc, enabled / disabled reason |
document.inspect |
— | Slides, sections, layouts, shapes, selection |
ui.inspect |
— | UI state, active tool, window/canvas/slide rects, dialog, home (the File tab open over a presentation), backstage (its page, also the start screen), slide show state, documents, perf (fps, render ms) |
ui.tool.select |
{tool, preset?} |
select, text, shape + preset, any preset name, curve, freeform, scribble, pen, highlighter, eraser |
ui.pointer |
{events: [{kind: down|drag|up|move|doubleclick|tripleclick, x, y, mods?}], mods?} |
Drive the active tool in slide points through the same code path as the mouse |
ui.key / ui.text |
{key, shift?, alt?, cmd?} / {text} |
Keyboard input (also drives a running slide show) |
ui.ime |
{preedit, active?: [start, end]} / {commit} |
An input method's composition through egui, as a real one arrives: shown in place on the slide or in a focused field; {"preedit": ""} cancels |
ui.move / ui.click / ui.drag |
screen points | Real egui pointer input — reaches every widget, menu and pane |
ui.set |
{tab?, view?, pane?, notes?, zoom?, brightness?, ruler?, gridlines?, guides?, …} |
UI state (returns the full state) |
ui.dialog.open / ui.dialog.close |
{id, fields?} |
Open or close a dialog by id; fields pre-fills its fields (About: {"tab": "contributors"} or "models") |
ui.screenshot |
{path?} |
PNG of the whole window (base64 when no path) |
ui.render |
{path?, slide?, scale?} |
Render a slide headlessly |
ui.resize / ui.focus |
Window control | |
show.start / show.end |
{from?: slide index, presenter?, reading?} |
Slide show |
app.open / app.save / app.export / app.quit |
{path, …} |
Files (export takes the file.export params, e.g. {"path": "deck.pdf", "layout": "handouts", "perPage": 3}) |
The MCP server (deckcraft-cli mcp, see mcp.md) wraps the same methods for Claude
and other agents; deckcraft-cli app METHOD [JSON] sends one request from a shell.
