Clicking Webpage Links in Presenter Mode

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)

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.

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.

Could be an option but the secondary display is the projector 😉


I still hope because this will open for a number of nice solutions 🙂
