Powerpoint macro custom keyboard shortcut for slide advance

The current keyboard shortcut of Right and Left cursor keys are set to next or previous slide/animation. Since I want to skip animation sometimes, hence I need to re-configure the keyboard short via macro and set it to next / previous slide only.

RIGHT ARROW = NEXT SLIDE (SKIPPING ALL ANIMATION)

LEFT ARROW = PREVIOUS SLIDE (SKIPPING ALL ANIMATION)

There's no way in the GUI or OM to set shortcut keys. There are commercial solutions eg Shortcut Manager from OfficeOne (I have never tried it)

One turnaround method of inserting action buttons on each slide is present. But it is cumbersome and will clutter the slide. I was wondering if there was any way to extract the vba command from the action button and then construct a macro on that.

The macro is simple but it will not run on a keystroke without a lot of complex code. You would still need a button to run it.

With SlideShowWindows(1).View
.GotoSlide (.CurrentShowPosition + 1)
End With
