SlideShortcuts for Google Slides

If you learned to build decks in PowerPoint, Google Slides costs you a keystroke tax on every slide: align, distribute, order, group, all of it lives in menus. SlideShortcuts gives you the keys back. One chord aligns, distributes, sizes, orders, groups, inserts a text box ready to type. The keymap is the same one used by SlideShortcuts for PowerPoint on Mac and Windows, so if you already use it there, your hands don't have to learn anything. • Align left/right/top/bottom/center/middle: one object aligns to the slide, several align to each other, exactly like PowerPoint • Distribute horizontally and vertically • Resize wider, narrower, taller, shorter with Shift+arrows, as in PowerPoint, and in exact 1% steps with Ctrl+Shift+arrows • Center and justify text, and autofit, on PowerPoint's own keys • Bring forward / send backward / bring to front / send to back • Group, ungroup, insert a text box that's already placed and ready to type • Flip, rotate, paste unformatted, paint format, font size, line spacing • Fill / border / text colour and border weight and dash from a leader key • Selection-aware operations (make same size, width and height, swap objects, copy and paste position, and more) via the free SlideShortcuts add-on, one click from the Google Workspace Marketplace • Tables from the keyboard: insert and delete rows and columns, distribute rows and columns, merge and unmerge cells • Works on ChromeOS too: the leader key is Alt+0 there Every shortcut is remappable from the options page. For the selection-aware shortcuts, also install the free add-on (one click, every deck): slideshortcuts.com/gslides/companion Free for everyone through 31 October 2026, no license key needed. From 1 November it requires a SlideShortcuts subscription; the same key works with the PowerPoint product, and the trial is at slideshortcuts.com.
