Like using

  • fuction button F5 to start a presentation from the first page
  • alt + F5 to start in presentor mode (even on a single screen)

But.. it looks like some interesting combinations are missing.

Like

  • Shift + F5, to start the presentation from the current slide you have open (not from slide 1, but somewhere in the middle)
  • Shift + alt + F5: start presenter mode from the current slide page.

Just a quick tip…
