you're looking for some functions that would allow you to navigate through slides or web pages using arrow keys or hotkeys. You're also looking for a way to automatically call a JavaScript function when a specific tag is encountered while reading a webpage.

There are several ways to achieve this functionality, depending on the specific requirements of your project. One possible approach is to use a JavaScript library like jQuery to bind arrow key or hotkey events to specific functions. For example, you could bind the right arrow key to a function that advances to the next slide or section of a webpage, and the left arrow key to a function that goes back to the previous slide or section.

To automatically call a JavaScript function when a specific tag is encountered, you could use the jQuery .each() function to iterate over all the elements in the DOM and check for the presence of the tag. When the tag is found, you can call the desired function using the .call() method.

It's definitely possible to implement these features, and it could be a fun and useful addition to your project. Good luck with your implementation!
