Are you aware of the demo-it package
(https://github.com/howardabrams/demo-it)?  Also, I had a similar idea
(to use keyboard macros for demo-it "presentations"), see here:
https://mbork.pl/2017-08-07_demo-it_recording#.

BTW, I saw some discussion about dslide on R*ddit, it looks very
promising!  I might need something for a presentation soon, I am /very/
tempted to use dslide for that!

Just my 2 cents...
