Description Jay Philips 2014-12-24 08:43:05 UTC

Was checking through impress's keyboard shortcuts and noticed that start from first slide was set to both F5, F9, and Ctrl+F2 and wondered why the duplication.

Was also thinking that it would be useful to have shortcut keys to jump between the various views.

And finally it would also be useful to have a shortcut key to add a new slide. A user in the impress survey had suggested it be Ctrl+M (like MSO) rather than that it being assigned to .uno:ResetAttributes.

Hmm, interesting. 
No idea where F9 and Ctrl+F2 come from, so I wouldn't touch them

If possible yes. The menu View > .. works with shortcuts too of course.

Ctrl+M is general among all modules. So I would suggest not to use that.

Any suggestions to what you'd like to use, as i'm not a heavy keyboard user.

Well it seems Draw/Impress doesnt have a command .uno:ResetAttributes, so this has been broken since 3.3.0. It should have been set to .uno:SetDefault like is available in the menu bar and context menu, so as it hasnt worked in the history of LO, maybe its worth using this for new slide. :D
