Step 0:

Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it.

Step 1:

Install highlight. Run brew install highlight (this brings down Lua and Boost as well).

Step 2:

Highlight your code source. Run highlight -O rtf myFile.js | pbcopy. This will highlight the source code in RTF format and copy the result of that operation to your Mac's clipboard.

Step 3:

Paste into your slide in Keynote. Keynote will create a new text box with your highlighted code. You can adjust the width as needed, and adjust the font size with cmd+ and cmd-.
