Keynote shortcut to Align Objects not working.

I am using "⌃⇧C" to try to center objects in Keynote (Arrange->Align Objects->Center), but it is not working. I am on a Mac.

Earlier Mac models

It seems to work for me.


Do you see the keyboard combination in the menu bar? that's the first check that the Keyboard Shortcut is setup (e.g. it can 'find' the relevant menu item to apply):


Additionally, you say you setup '... Keynote -> Align Objects Center -> Control-Shift-C'... did you include 'Align Objects Center' in the Keyboard Shortcut setup? if so, that could be your problem. You need to specify the exact menu item... its hierarchy in the menu bar doesn't matter, so in this case it should just say 'Center':

Glad I could help.


It doesn't seem unreasonable to include the hierarchical menu in the Keyboard Shortcut settings, and I know I did that when I first tried using this.

Also makes me wonder what would happen if multiple hierarchical menus have the same wording - without specifying the parent menu, there's no way to control which one the keystroke is applied to. I'll have to find an app that meets this criteria and see what happens.

HI Camelot,

Follow-up question: So the shortcut works when I'm using Keynote on my Mac, but it does not work when the same Keynote is placed on icloud.


I went into System Settings and made sure icloud Drive is on and that Keynote is syncing to icloud.


Any thoughts as to why the shortcut does not work in icloud?


Thank you.


Eileen
