In AI, we could go to the menu "View" => "Presentation Mode" to preview entirely an artboard.
I would like to know if there is a shortcut to do that. I tried Command+Y on Mac, but it did not work.
Does anyone know?

Shortcuts are shown to the right of menu items....
If there is a shortcut for an item, it will be shown on the right.
If there's nothing to the right, you can add your own shortcut.
Choose Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, then choose Menu Commands from the drop down list. Find the menu with the item you want....
If the area under Shortcut is blank, click in that area, then type the shortcut you want.
Illustrator will alert you if there's a conflict or the shortcut you typed already exists.
The most difficult part is finding a key combo that is not already in use (which is why not everything has a shortcut to begin with).
Screenshots from a legacy version of Illustrator. Screenshots will look similar to items in newer versions, but actual content of the windows may vary slightly.
Yeah SHIFT+F is the default shortcut for Presentation Mode.

Shift+F doesn't do anything for me. Is this a new feature? I'm still on AI CC2018. Hitting F twice (without shift) toggles into full screen view though. Commented Nov 23, 2022 at 11:30

I added an image to the answer to show it. Not sure how new this is, i'm using the 26.5 version.– lmlmlmCommented Nov 23, 2022 at 11:34

Yeah, doesn't seem to exist in CC2018. F alone without shift toggles these options Commented Nov 23, 2022 at 11:36

True, the double F used to work in older versions. Not sure when the SHIFT+F was introduced.– lmlmlmCommented Nov 23, 2022 at 11:48

So now you have to do Shift+F, and then click on an option? Does F still work as a toggle between views? Doesn't seem to be an improvement TBH. I will never understand why Adobe has to mess with stuff that previously worked just fine. Good to be aware of though, if I ever do upgrade eventually. Commented Nov 23, 2022 at 11:52
