Move Beamer Frame Tool

Use tools/move_frame.py to move or reorder beamer frames in LaTeX presentations.

Usage

List all frames:

python tools/move_frame.py $ARGUMENTS[0] --list

Move a single frame:

python tools/move_frame.py <file>.tex --from N --to M

Move a range of frames:

python tools/move_frame.py <file>.tex --from N-M --to P

Delete frames:

python tools/move_frame.py <file>.tex --from N --delete
python tools/move_frame.py <file>.tex --from N-M --delete

Cross-file moves:

python tools/move_frame.py source.tex -o dest.tex --from N --to M
python tools/move_frame.py source.tex -o dest.tex --from N --to M --copy  # keep original

Workflow

1. First use --list to see frame numbers and titles
2. Then use --from N --to M to move frames

Important

• Frame numbers are 1-indexed
• ALWAYS use this tool for moving slides - do NOT manually cut/paste frame content
• The tool handles preceding comments and properly parses \begin{frame}...\end{frame} blocks
