How do I enable snap to grid in Keynote 6.0?
From the Keynote 09 manual (the most recent manual I could find):
To turn on master gridlines:
1 Choose Keynote > Preferences, and then click Rulers.
2 Select either or both of the horizontal and vertical Master Gridlines checkboxes.
(...etc) The check boxes mentioned under step 2 are no longer there. How does this work now?

You can also use the "Help" in Keynote 6. I typed SNAP and found this page.

I'm thinking you're looking for "Turn on alignment guides"
Thanks, but I see no grid option or equivalent. I see a way to align objects to each other, and to some manually placed guides, but no grid.
In Keynote '09, I had set up the grid at 10 pixel increments. I deliberately did not align objects to each other, because there are so many objects on a slide, some of which may be off-grid. This grid setting seems to have been lost when upgrading from '09 to 6.0, and I must now rely on more accurate eye-hand coordination.

THAT has indeed been removed (and also removed from Keynote '09 as it only allows "percents" just like the iOS version). I have a few presentations that I used to create pixel art where I had the "pixels" be one 5 pixel by 5 pixel square. I set my grid to be 5x5 and drawings snapped to it.
What I'll have to do is what I did before master gridlines, create a grid, 5x5 or 10x10 manually on my master slides and then just overlay that. I'll have to try to see if there's any other changes that makes it unworkable though.
I have been looking for an answer to that question for a long time 🙂
I finally managed to hack grid layout design in keynote 6.
I put together a step by step guide in a gist : https://gist.github.com/gomar/a7ea5a6e3973566f4eb8f766a8c2baae
Hope it helps.
