Post assign keyboard shortcuts to Custom Action Buttons

Hi all,

Objective: assign keyboard strokes to jump to certain slides to be able to toggle between them

I would like to explain my request in the example below.

Let's say I have a presentation of 10 slides, 5 slides for each test. Test1 has the first 5 slides, and test2 has the next 5. During presentation mode, when I'm within slides 1-5, I would like to simply jump to the slides by pressing 1, 2, ... 5 on my keyboard to jump through the corresponding slides. When I'm within slides 6-10, I would still like to use the shortcuts 1-5 to jump to slides 6-10 respectively. This will be very helpful in my QC presentations where I have to compare between different parameters and jump between specific parameters per clients' request

I tried using Action Buttons and set every button to jump to a specific slide. In the example above, I had 5 action buttons names 1 to 5 in the slides 6 through 10 for Test2. During presentation mode, when I click on the Action Button labeled "1", the presentation would jump to slide 6, and so on.

Instead of clicking on the action button, I would like to set keyboard shortcuts to activate them during presentation mode. They don't have to be Action Buttons, just any trick that can do what I have stated above

Note: I won't be able to download any packages or registry hacks due to restrictions at the workplace.

Thanks,
Mustafa.
