Navigation & shortcuts

A built deck is interactive. This section documents the reader-side experience — how to move around a finished presentation in the browser. None of it requires authoring knowledge; it's what your audience does.

Moving between slides

Moving between slides with the arrow keys, with edge glows for dead-end and ambiguous directions, then clicking a slide in deck view

  • Arrow keys move between grid-neighboring slides along the deck's edges.
  • Clicking a slide in the deck map zooms into it.
  • Navigation arrows appear at a slide's edges in slide view, pointing to its neighbors.

Scrolling a slide

Scrolling a slide with the mouse wheel, Shift and arrow keys, and the snap control's arrows

  • Mouse wheel / trackpad scrolls the current slide, driving its animation.
  • Shift + arrow keys scroll without leaving the slide.
  • The scrollbar shows progress; when a slide has snap positions, the view eases to them as you scroll.

Switching views

  • z toggles between the deck map and the current slide.

See Deck view & mini-map for the zoomed-out map and its mini-map control.

Snapping

Toggling scroll snapping off and back on with the snap control and the s key

  • s toggles scroll snapping on or off, and brings the scrollbar and snap control back into view so the change is visible.
