My Keynote (that I'm giving in 3 hours) has a mix of plains slides and slides that are hyperlinks to webpages. When I'm in Presenter Mode (where I can see the current and next slide) when I click the hyperlink it merely advance the slide -- it does not jump to the webpage. How do I do that? Thanks very much for your help.
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Hyperlinks are not active in Presenter Display. Use the mouse shown on the main keynote display.
This is a feature that is available on iOS versions of Keynote but strangely not on the Mac version.
I also have "advanced" presentations where the point is to use the links - as a kind of menu system - and where I need the notes available.
This is a feature I really should like to see on the Mac version. Its just not an option to skip the presentation mode and click in the main presentation.
I've experienced instances where it works perfectly, and other times where it doesn't happen at all. I wish this were a bit more fine tuned.
Another nice thing that's worked SOMETIMES, is the ability to scrub within presented mode when a movie is hovered over!

Not strange at all; the Keynote application on iOS is written for iOS and is completely different to the Mac version, it runs on different hardware and a different operating system.

I doubt this will be achieved, this is a graphics hardware and software limitation that has a number of limitations when Keynote is in Play.

Keep using Presenter Display on the Mac's display to preview notes and monitor the next slide but use the mouse to click on the link on the main Keynote presentation on the secondary display.

Hyperlinks do not have the ability to work on Presenter Display on a secondary monitor. What will be happening is the function of clicking the mouse will action next slide.
Seems like they switched it up - the functionality I described can no longer be replicated in 6.5. Hopefully they'll change it up!

Could be an option but the secondary display is the projector 😉
I still hope because this will open for a number of nice solutions 🙂

Using a projector is not an issue, use the mouse to click on a hyperlink that is shown by the projector, I do this every day in small rooms rooms to large conference halls, it works perfectly. Why do you think this would be a problem?
