Used pandoc for a couple presentations recently and while it's clear the experience will be wonderful eventually, it's still a bit buggy. There is no widescreen template included with Pandoc and attempts to use other templates caused me to encounter https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5402 . The resulting .pptx files won't open in Keynote, either, but luckily they did open in Google Slides, which then let me download a visually-identical .pptx that opens everywhere. Point is, slide support in Pandoc is still somewhat new and people should not go in expecting a trouble-free experience at this point.

+1 for Jumpcut - I tried Quicksilver clipboard history and found it slowed my whole machine down. Jumpcut has really good keyboard shortcut support, too.

The 4-Hour Work Week (Tim Ferriss) drove at much the same point - you should consider your free time to be part of your wealth. I don't necessarily recommend the book, but it's another viewpoint on the topic.
