Presentation Assistant plugin

Using the Presentation Assistant plugin to show shortcuts.

Our first tip is to use Presentation Assistant which shows you the shortcuts as you press them. You can configure it in several ways, as we will show you in the section below.

Presentation Assistant example

Configuring the Presentation Assistant plugin

To configure Presentation Assistant, go to you Preferences with ⌘, (macOS) / Ctrl+Alt+S (Windows/Linux) and select Appearance & Behavior | Presentation Assistant.

Configure Presentation Assistant

Here we can configure font size, duration, alignment, and which keymaps to show. We are using macOS, with Windows as the alternative keymap. We have also configured the Presentation Assistant plugin to show the shortcuts at the top of the screen. This is what we recommend if you are recording videos that will have subtitles at the bottom, so the subtitles and shortcuts won't overlap.
