Tab Key
Use the Tab key to move between objects on the slide. This is especially helpful when you need to get to an object completely behind another object.
5 Pixels
When using the arrow keys to move objects on a Google Slides slide, the object moves 5 pixels at a time. Hold down the SHIFT key when you use the arrow keys to move only one pixel. This helps you nudge things exactly into place. (Note: this is opposite in Canva for Education.)
The Filmstrip
The filmstrip is the lineup of thumbnails of your slides on the left hand side. Click on the slide thumnails in the filmstrip to switch to a slide. PRESS ENTER while selecting a thumbnail in the filmstrip and a brand new slide with the same layout will be added.
Keyboard Shortcut for Straight Lines
Looking to make straight lines in Google Slides? Hold down the shift key as you create lines. They will come out vertical, horizontal, or if you want at a sharp angle.
