To start a presentation from the current slide:

- in PowerPoint X/Macintosh, press Control+Shift+B
To start a presentation from the beginning:

Powerpoint 2016 has the following keyboard shortcuts to play a slideshow.
From the current slide:
- Windows: Shift + F5
- Mac: Command + Return
From the first slide:
- Windows: F5
- Mac: Command + Shift + Return
In LibreOffice Impress Shift + F5 works fine.
