Moved to help for not following the bug report template.

If you post in help, you see this template. Have you tried these debugging/troubleshooting steps yet?

First, search the help docs and this forum. Maybe your question has been answered! The debugging steps can help, too. Still stuck? Delete this line and proceed.

Make sure to redownload Obsidian to get the latest installer. And update any plugins and themes. Test in the Sandbox vault, etc. etc.

If you click on the presentation, then the navigation keys work.

But if you hit space bar, in this screen recording in the Sandbox vault, you can see the spaces get typed into the note, instead of navigating the presentation.

No need.

I was typing the ` before and after the —

I had tried just — before but now works with the click on the presentation.

Apologies - I’m new to Obsidian

Thanks!

Don’t mark it as solution; the topic will close automatically. I’ll open it back up. The presentation should receive focus properly. :slight_smile:
