Let's get you set up.

The full product — the 50+ keyboard shortcuts (alignment, distribution, sizing, and the rest) plus the insert panels.

Activating needs a license key. If you've already bought, it's in your purchase email (the subject line includes SlideShortcuts); if not, grab one on the pricing page.

1. Install. Double-click SlideShortcuts.pkg → follow the installer → when macOS asks, grant Accessibility for the shortcut helper in System Settings → Privacy & Security.
2. Install. Double-click Windows_Install.exe → the wizard takes your email + license key → installs and activates automatically. No admin rights, no unzip.
3. Activate. Open PowerPoint → open the SlideShortcuts pane → paste your license key → Activate → Continue. You're in.
   Don't see a SlideShortcuts tab? Fully quit PowerPoint (⌘Q) and reopen it. Still missing? Add the panels from Microsoft AppSource (Insert → Add-ins → search "SlideShortcuts") — your 50+ keyboard shortcuts still come from the installer above.
4. Open PowerPoint. Your 50+ shortcuts load automatically, every session. Open the SlideShortcuts pane anytime for the full shortcut reference.
5. Try it. Select two or more shapes and press ⌘ Option ↑ — they snap to the same edge. That's the muscle memory you're buying back.

Heads up: Windows may show a Defender SmartScreen prompt ("Windows protected your PC") the first time. That's a new-software reputation flag, not a virus — click More info, then Run anyway. Why this is safe →
