General navigation
Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move between controls. Use Enter to activate a focused button or link and Space to toggle a focused checkbox or option. Standard menu and tab controls support their arrow-key navigation. Press Escape to dismiss a dialog or menu where a dismissal action is available.
Shortcuts involving letters or arrows are suspended while typing in text fields. Move focus out of the field before using presentation shortcuts.
Library
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Space on a focused item | Select the item and show its details. |
| Enter on a focused item | Open the item. |
| Shift+F10 | Open the focused row’s context menu. |
| Enter while renaming | Commit the name. |
| Escape while renaming | Cancel the edit. |
Moving focus away from an edited item title also commits its name. Use the details panel’s Move picker as the keyboard-accessible alternative to dragging a deck into a folder.
Deck editor
Use Up and Down within the slide rail to navigate thumbnails. Use the slide context menu or ribbon to duplicate, delete, and insert slides. Select a slide part to reach its corresponding property fields.
For canvas objects, Delete or Backspace removes the selected removable object when text editing is inactive. When typing, those keys retain their ordinary text-editing behavior.
Use Review overflow to locate content that exceeds its available area. Supply useful alt text for images and accessible titles for embedded web pages and PDFs.
Presenter
| Key | Presenter before participation | Live host console |
|---|---|---|
| Right arrow | Next reveal or slide | Next |
| Left arrow | Previous reveal or slide | Previous |
| Space | Next reveal or slide | The currently available primary action |
| Escape | Close the presenter | Dismiss the active overlay where applicable |
| H | — | Show or hide the current result |
| F | — | Freeze or unfreeze participation |
Live shortcuts require presenter authority. A presenter opened inside the deck editor uses its own navigation handling. Check the visible action label before pressing Space: it follows the current question state.
Desktop file commands
| Command | macOS | Windows/Linux |
|---|---|---|
| New file | Command+N | Ctrl+N |
| Open file | Command+O | Ctrl+O |
Use the editor’s File → Save and Save as… buttons to save local decks. Use the installed application’s File menu to confirm available keyboard commands on that platform.
Participant reading and input
Choose Reading for a document-style view of slide content. Choose Slide when the exact slide composition or freehand annotations matter. Use the provided move controls for ranking questions and the labelled inputs for gaps and matching.
Interface language controls offer English, French, and German where available. They change interface labels; authored lesson text keeps its original language.
For listening tasks, use the transcript after the host releases it. For voice homework, review the playback before saving and use Download to preserve a local copy when a retry is necessary.
