Thanks for reaching out! When adding Key Press triggers, the CTRL key should be used in conjunction with another key, as shown below.
Regarding Ctrl + Mouse click in Key Press triggers, we have this logged as a feature request, so I'll go ahead and include your voice. Here's a peek into our process for managing feature requests.
Let me know if you have other questions; we're happy to help!
Actually, I know about the trigger you mentioned in your reply. but this time, my requirement is little bit different, like in a slide I need to press and hold Ctrl key and click mouse key simultaneously to go to next slide.
According to me, this can be only possible either by such kind of trigger should be available or we can apply trigger on Ctrl key. by second method, we will be needed to apply variable as well. Let's try to understand both option options one by one:
First option:
Jump to Next slide when user press Ctrl + mouse key.
Second option:
Suppose we have variable Var1 with default value faise and a Hotspot on the slide.
Trigger 1: Adjust Var1 true when user press ctrl key.
Trigger 2: Jump to Next slide when user cllck hotspot.
Condition Var1 true.
Do you think, if we can apply any of option at the moment.
While the first option is a known feature request, as my colleague Eric mentioned, I tried replicating your second option on my end.
Unfortunately, this trigger functionality is not possible. I found that you cannot have the Ctrl key be a standalone key when inserting them in a trigger. The Ctrl and Shift keys are known as modifier keys. They modify the effect of other keys used in combination with them ( ex. Ctrl + A or Ctrl + Enter). It makes sense that you could not achieve this trigger functionality solely with the Ctrl key.
In my workaround, you'll see that I added a Variable as you had described. I inserted the triggers you were looking for. In the Key Press trigger, I had to include Ctrl + Enter to accomplish the navigation as you have written. While I understand that isn't exactly what you're looking to use, I wanted to share this workaround in the hopes that it is helpful!
Here are the triggers I implemented into my course:
You'll find my .story file attached.
Please let us know if you have any other questions!
Thanks for checking in on this! I understand you'd like an update on the feature request regarding Ctrl + Mouse click in Key Press triggers. There currently hasn't been any movement on that as we prioritize other features. I'm going to include your voice in the request. We’ll update this discussion when there is any news to share about this.
