Controlling a Presentation with the Keyboard

For slideshows that aren’t self-playing, you can use the keyboard to pause, resume, and
stop a presentation, advance to the next slide or build, go back to the previous slide or
build, or jump to a specific slide.

Here are ways to pause and resume a presentation:
To pause the presentation and display the current slide (freeze), press F. To resume the

m

presentation, press any key.
To pause the presentation and display a black screen, press B. To resume the

m

presentation, press any key.
To pause the presentation and display a white screen, press W. To resume the

m

presentation, press any key.
To pause the presentation and show the last application used, press H. To resume the

m

presentation, click the Keynote icon in the Dock.
Note: If you’re running Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) or later, and the Keynote application
window is expanded to full-screen view before beginning presentation playback, then
pressing H ends the presentation and returns you to the Keynote window.
