Keynote Suggestion: Add Diagramming Support

Just submitted to Apple via their Keynote Feedback page:

I'm using Keynote all the time to display complex diagrams step by step. I find that by building the components in one by one I can walk people through a complex diagram much, much easier than if I make a static diagram in OmniGraffle, where I'd need to show the entire thing all at once. And then, after I've built in all the various components of the diagram, I can even use the awesome animation actions to move things around and change things, to explain a plan to people.

So, I'm frequently creating diagrams in Keynote. And it's going well - it's totally worth it. But there are a few things that Keynote could make easier for me. The #1 thing would be the ability to connect shapes using lines (usually with arrowheads). That way if I move a shape around, the connections to it would move with it.

Another feature which would be very helpful would be more alignment help. In OmniGraffle, when I drag a shape around, little lines will appear which help me know how the shape is aligning with other shapes. This is very useful for making diagrams which have an orderly feel to them.

Thanks for the great software!
Avi Flax

Thus continues my infatuation with Keynote.
