Presentation mode is terrible for doing code pairing, code presentations, or really anything that involves screen sharing.

Presentation mode has worked well for me for code presentation for a decade both in-person on a projector and for screen sharing, across hundreds of talks. If you believe otherwise, let’s hear why rather than some kind of assertion that it must be true because you said so.

For the others… well, it’s not called screen sharing mode or code pairing mode.

So you agree that it doesn't work that great for the scenarios that I've been talking about?

But great for the scenario that the person I actually responded to described.

Curious why is that, what are the pain points specifically? I use it often when presenting and the only downside is that presentation mode forces full screen (on mac)

I lose my terminal, file tabs, project navigation.

For presenting, it is very specific on how it is meant to be used, which is not how I would present during a screen sharing exercise.

That's not entirely true, you can bring up all of those (maybe except tabs, I don't use them) while in presentation mode, you can do that with all windows. They even have bigger fonts so they're also readable
