Can I share my custom PowerPoint shortcuts?

PowerPoint shortcuts can be used to turbo charge your productivity. That's why we created extra PowerPoint Shortcuts for PPT Productivity users! PPT Productivity lets you create custom shortcut keys for more than 800 PowerPoint commands. We've included over 70 pre-set extra PowerPoint shortcuts included in PPT Productivity, plus you can add more PowerPoint shortcuts for your most frequently used PowerPoint tasks.

The video below shows how easy it is to add shortcut keys to PowerPoint using PPT Productivity.

Once you have set up your custom PowerPoint shortcuts, you can share your shortcuts with individual colleagues, your team or your whole organization.

To share your custom PowerPoint shortcuts (aka hot keys), navigate to the shortcut key .xml file located at c/ Users / Public / Public Documents / PPT Productivity / shortcuts.xml

Copy the file named shortcuts.xml and save this file to a share drive, or attach to an email to send to your colleague(s). Your colleagues need to save this file in the same location i.e. c/ Users / Public / Public Documents / PPT Productivity. This will override their existing shortcuts.xml file and apply your customized keyboard shortcuts to PowerPoint. Note that your colleagues also need to have an active PPT Productivity license to use the PowerPoint shortcuts that you share with them.

Team members/ colleagues that you share customized PowerPoint shortcuts with can continue to add their own shortcut key preferences in the normal way but note that they would lose any custom shortcuts they had created prior to saving your file.

To help remember the PowerPoint shortcuts that have been assigned, individuals can generate and print the customized PowerPoint shortcut guide directly from the PowerPoint Shortcut Keys menu on the PPT Productivity ribbon.

Sharing customized PowerPoint shortcuts throughout your team/ organization can help all team members be more productive in PowerPoint!
