Keyboard shortcuts

The table below lists the keyboard shortcuts used when working with the application.

Please note the following specifics:

  • On laptops, some keys are multifunctional. For example, F1-F12, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down. When you press these keys in MyPresentation, it is necessary to hold the Fn key down simultaneously.
  • Some keyboard shortcuts or parts of keyboard shortcuts used in MyPresentation may be used by the operating system. These shortcuts will not work in the application. To be able to use them, you should change the conflicting keyboard shortcuts in the operating system settings.
