Keyboard controls during the show

When you're running the slideshow, Keynote gives you some control over the show's progress by letting you press keys on the keyboard and click the mouse. See Table 12.1 for a list of controls.

[*] These keys will not step backwards through each object build stage. For example, if you have three lines of bulleted text that build, and you press a previous key after the second line appears, all of the bulleted text disappears, and it is as if you just switched to the slide. Pressing previous again returns to the previous slide. Also, transitions and builds do not play backwards; if going forward, the slides dissolve from one to another; going backwards , the slides will simply switch to the previous slide.

Tip

  • Table 12.1 isn't a complete list of keyboard controls during the show; I've omitted rarely used controls. To get a complete list, while running your presentation, press the Question Mark (?), Slash (/), or Help keys. You'll get the Presenter Keyboard Shortcuts window, which lists all of the possibilities.
