To assign keyboard shortcuts to macros within PowerPoint files, your macros need to meet the following 3 requirements:

The macro needs to be in a Code Module (not a UserForm or a Class Module).
The macro should be taking in no parameters.

The macro signature should be as follows:

Sub YourMacroName()
    '
    ' Your macro code.
    '
End Sub

or

Public Sub YourMacroName()
    '
    ' Your macro code.
    '
End Sub
