I have named all the slides, but one lecture has 125 slides, much of which is reference material and I dwell on only a few - jumping 20 slides means there is no way to easily restart once I exit, but alt tab works sort of. Better is ctrl-alt-arrow which moves to a workplace next to the current one (I run 10 workplaces with different apps/screens on each one as demos) (! (I know making the presentations smaller would help, but I have my reasons for doing it this way) It seems such a simple thing to do .. and it once did work.
