Description:

PowerPoint allows you to create a new slide using the Ctrl+M shortcut. It will create a new slide with the same layout as the active slide layout. If the active slide layout is has Title and Text placeholders, then the new slide will also have the same layout. The only exception seems to be the Title slide. If you are on Title slide, then the new slide will be created with Title and Text layout.

Shortcuts for PowerPoint enables you to define keyboard shortcut for creating a blank slide. It also enables you to create layouts that are not normally available through the PowerPoint user interface. It enables you to define keyboard shortcuts to create these layouts too.
