Add SlideSelectionChanged event for Powerpoint in the JavaScript API
The JavaScript API for Office should be enhanced so developers have an event notifying if the current slide in the normal / edit mode is changed. This would allow for more contextual user interaction.

Thank you for sharing! We’re always looking at making more investments in expanding the API support. We’ll pass this along to the engineering teams. We’ll also update the blogs here at http://blogs.office.com with any news.

Is there any update on this feature? We need to perform certain actions when the slide is active (and in present mode - which we can already detect), which isn't possible without this :(

That would be really awesome. Can think of quite a few cool applications that could use that.
