Some keystrokes are common keyboard shortcuts for web browsers—for example, F1, Alt+D, and Ctrl+T. Because learners view published courses in a web browser, some keystrokes could result in unwanted behavior. We recommend testing your published output before deploying it to ensure it works as you'd expect. You may need to adjust some of the keystroke requirements for your interactive elements if there's a browser conflict. See this article for more information.
Too bad there isn't a way to get around this, we're simulating an online tool that uses a lot of ALT+SHIFT+X keyboard shortcuts that we what learners to be able to use as well as the mouse as they would in the actual system.

Yes, you can use the 'When user presses a key' option in a trigger and then press ALT+whatever key you want in the trigger's 'Key' field.
From my testing using the following key trigger to show a caption it doesn't work ALT+SHIFT+C
Any key combo that uses ALT doesn't seem to work (testing in IE11)
Alt+Shift+C seems to be a key combination reserved for IE functions, it works in Chrome.
Working in Chrome doesn't help when our end users are using IE, anyone know of a work around?

Thanks Leslie,
