See notes, current slide, and next slide during presentation in Keynote

I give scientific presentations relatively frequently, also, I use Powerpoint for my lectures.


Now, I would like to move away from Powerpoint to Keynote.


But, what I am really missing in Keynote is the following setup:

I need to see the current slide, the presenter's notes, and the next slide (or next animation step)

at the same time on my laptop screen.

At the same time, of course, on the projector people should see only the current slide.

In addition, I would like to draw on the current slide.


I love the keynote Remote feature very much (I have an iPad with which I can remotely control the presentation on my laptop, see the current slide and the notes, and I can draw just fine on the iPad, and it shows on the projector. This is a cool feature.

BUT, I cannot see a preview of the next slide (like PPT shows), which would be extremely helpful for me.

The iPad does not offer to show all three, only two out of three.

I have also tried "Rehearse Slideshow", but that shows everything on the projector, too (notes, etc.).

Mirroring or not mirroring the display does not help.


I am at a loss, right now, how I can get the setup as described above.


Any hints, tips, and suggestions will be highly appreciated.


Best regards, Gabriel


PS:

I'm using a MacBook Pro, Keynote 8.2, iPad Pro with iOS 12.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2), iPhone 6S, always latest iOS

These functions are built in to Keynote:


1 - go to: Keynote > Preferences > Slideshow - click on the option button for Enable Presenter Display:


2 - with an external display connected, set Mirroring to off in: system preferences > Displays

If the projector is showing Presenter Display, press the X key on the keyboard to restore the Presentation.


Due to limitations of the iPad hardware, the operating system and the Keynote application used on the iPad, many features in the Keynote for Mac version are not available in Keynote for iOS.
