Why Deckary vs. Native PowerPoint?

PowerPoint has no native keyboard shortcuts for object alignment and distribution. The only workaround is manually adding commands to the Quick Access Toolbar.

Native PowerPoint

  • No keyboard shortcuts for aligning objects
  • No shortcuts for distributing objects
  • No shortcuts for selecting similar objects
  • No shortcuts for matching size/width/height
  • Requires manual Quick Access Toolbar setup
  • Clunky Alt + number combinations

Deckary

  • One-key shortcuts for all alignment options
  • Instant horizontal & vertical distribution
  • Select similar objects by size, type, or color
  • Match size across objects instantly
  • Works out of the box - no setup needed
  • Intuitive, easy-to-remember combinations
