I'm interested in doing some long speedruns, but I would like to have on my second monitor something like a power point presentation with information about my route that I can switch slides even when the program doesnt have focus like livesplit does. Even better if I could map this to a gamepad key.

there is a "speed guides live" livesplit component that lets you write notes for each split. its not exactly what you want but it should help. i dont remember where i got it but if you cant find it i can give it to you

For my notes I use "zim". It's a desktop wiki program. I can scroll my notes with it being inactive. But I also can scroll a google-doc when the browser isn't focused... I can bind (keyboard-)keys in zim for "next page" or similar commands. With another program like AntiMicroX I could map a controller-key for the keyboard-key. It's a workaround not a 1 program-solution. But tbh I don't think there is smth like that.

notepad, it comes free with your windows 10 install
