Does anyone know if there is a post detailing what the keyboard shortcuts are when using Parallels?
For instance, in Win I can use the CTRL and DOWN arrow to make tiny corrections to a objects position, but despite trying several different combination, I cannot get it to do this-when using a Mac keyboard and Parallels.
I don't know of any posts in the Articulate Forums that would deal with Parallels specific shortcuts, but I did find an article on the Parallels site that you could use Mac shortcuts within Parallels such aspressing Command-C to copy text in Mac OS X, you don't have to switch to the Windows equivalent, Control-C.
Thanks for the reply, I did find the article you refer to, but viewing it I still am unclear how to use it to map a keyboard shortcut to 'nudge' items in small increments. I guess I'll have to keep experimenting.
I use MAC and Parallels too and I tend to use the Format > Rotate > Position option built in Storyline. This is another way of moving items in 1px increments.

Here are the keyboard shortcuts specific to Storyline.
Hi,

You need to adjust your mac setting as ctrl+arrow keys are used for different functions on a Mac
When using Parallels, you can use Mac's arrow keys (only the arrow keys) to move selected objects in small increments.
Thanks Angela for sharing that here
On a Mac using Parallels use control option together and select the item with your mouse to drag object in 1px increments.

Thanks for sharing those Mac shortcuts here! As a PC user, it's totally outside my area. :-)
