Custom Storyline Keyboard Stickers
Sep 23, 2014
I just finished a small project and thought I'd share. The photo below shows my keyboard's number pad, tricked out to run different Storyline commands. My ten-key typing skills are nonexistent, so I wrote an AutoHotKey marco to let those keys control alignment, distribution, stacking order, and grouping. I bought blank color keyboard stickers online, and a co-worker drew the icons on the stickers for me.
I'm planning to leave the enter key blank because I use that key for temporary macros since it's usually closest to the mouse. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the insert key.

Very cool- care to share the AHK script? Been using AHK for years. I have a few macros like you on the number pad - but im digging that layout!
Hi Rob! You are welcome to reach out to Sharon directly via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if needed :)
Hello, Rob! The attached AutoHotKey file has align/position macros for Storyline and also for PowerPoint.
You'll need to change the #IfWinActive line. The ahk_class seems to be different on every computer. There is probably a better way to deal with this, but so far it hasn't been enough of a hassle for me to figure out a better solution.
Thanks for popping back in to share Sharon :)
