SlideShortcuts

You left the firm. Your shortcuts didn't follow.

SlideShortcuts gives you back the slide speed you had at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or any consulting firm with a custom PowerPoint shortcut layer. 50+ keyboard shortcuts and custom commands for the moves that consultants make hundreds of times a day — align, distribute, group, swap, format, navigate — all without ever touching the ribbon or right-click menu.

What's included

• 50+ keyboard shortcuts for one-key alignment, distribution, sizing, grouping, formatting, navigation, and object swaps. Type-and-go, no mouse required.
• 2,300+ icons, symbols, and Unicode glyphs. Insert checkmarks, arrows, Harvey balls, and consulting-style symbols by name.
• Textbox-table builder. Build perfectly aligned text-grid layouts in seconds — the kind every consulting deck has on slide 4.
• Smart line tools. Connector lines, rule lines, and call-out arrows that snap to objects without dragging.
• Spatial navigation. Jump between objects with arrow keys based on position, not Z-order. Move through dense slides with muscle memory.
• Quick actions taskpane. Pin the SlideShortcuts panel to the side and click any action you haven't memorized yet.
• Cross-platform parity. Same shortcuts, same workflows on Mac and Windows.

Who it's for

Built for former management consultants — people who learned slide-building at the firm and now feel slow without their old shortcut layer. Also for analysts, strategy teams, IB associates, and any PowerPoint power user who builds 5+ slides a day and refuses to use the mouse.
