Keynote keyboard shortcut not working?

The keyboard shortcsst for increasing indention and decreasing indentions are not working in Keynote 9.3. I have not really used Keynote before, so I don't know whether these keyboard shortcuts have worked in the past or not, but they are on the list of keyboard shortcuts at https://help.apple.com/keynote/mac/6.1/#/tan951def1c9

Does anyone have any info on this item? (I really dislike drilling down through the Inspector to increase or decrease indentions!

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4, OS 10.7.5 and iTunes 11.1

indentions are not working in Keynote 9.3.

There is no such version as Keynote 9.3, the previous version was 5.3, the latest version is 6.1.

What version do you have using the menu: Keynote > about Keynote ?

On all versions of Keynote as per the link you provide;

increasing text indent is command right bracket

decreasing text indent is command left bracket

These keyboard commands work correctly for me.

Try resetting Keynote by removing it, (use Appcleaner from Mac Update .com to do this, it is freeware)

start up in safe mode (press shift key immediately after the start chime) it will take longer to start up as the OS is being repaired

when the Mac is fully booted: Applications > Utilities > Disk utility >

click the System hard drive in the list >first aid tab > Repair Disc

reboot normally

re-install iWork and install updates for Keynote
