Keynote: Key command for turning guides on and off.

I have come to love Apple Keynote for compelling presentations, but it seems to be lacking in some areas for streamline workflow. One area is quick key commands. Especially for turning guide lines on and off. Am I just not seeing this key command in the menu? If it's truly not an option, how do we get to the Apple team to request they put this in the program?

There's no default key combination for toggling the guides, but you can add your own.


Use System Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts and add two entries, one for 'Hide Slide Layout Guides' and one for 'Show Slide Layout Guides' - they can both have the same key-combination (e.g. ⌘-⌥-G)
