Copy only the first slide of a group in Keynote

In Keynote (I’m using version ’08), when working in Navigator view, you can indent or group multiple slides under one slide via drag’n'drop or by pressing Tab (Shift-Tab to outdent or ungroup).

If you need to copy an entire group, close the group by clicking the disclosure arrow to collapse the group, select the first slide and press Command-V.

If you need to copy only the first slide of the group, open the group first (by clicking the arrow to expand the group), select the first slide and press Command-C.

I just realized the difference between the two actions this morning, and it has already saved me a good amount of presentation development time.
