About Keynote and its shortcuts

Keynote is Apple's presentation application, and it follows macOS conventions so closely that much of its keyboard is the system's. What is its own covers slide navigation while building, object arrangement, and the controls that run a show, including the presenter display.

Keynote is Mac only here, and the iPad version is a different application. Some commands depend on the view you are in, and others only exist while a presentation is playing.
