I am using Keynote 7.2 in Mac OS Sierra. I want to add a curved connection line (aka arc or curve) to my presentation but with multiple bend points. How do I do that?
Specifically, I am choosing "connector line" from the top menu.
I then want to add another green bend point to make the line curve multiple times. How do I do that?
From the Insert Shape menu choose the "Draw with Pen" tool:
Click once at one end of your curved arrow:
Click and drag at the other end of your arrow:
Hit the Escape key to stop drawing.
From the line ends menu, choose an arrowhead you like:
To reshape the curve, click on it once, then click on it again;
When the endpoints turn red you can change things:
Click and drag the round circles at the end of the gray Bezier
handles to reshape the curve (a little practice makes perfect):
Click and drag one of the red endpoints to change the start or end:
I ran into this same problem and spent two days searching for it.
My eventual answer: Install VirtualBox. In a virtual machine install windows XP, then install office and power point. This also gave me Access, an applicationf or which there is no good mac equivalent.

The tool to use for this is the Draw with the pen tool.
This tool is found at the top right of the shape picker window.
To add a new point, drag a midpoint to divide a line and add a new point. See the illustration below.
