Storyline 2 Keyboard shortcuts - sub/superscript

Sep 23, 2014

I write a number of chemical equations for my questions. In SL1 the usual keyboard shortcuts for sub/superscripts worked as expected. In SL2 they don't seem to work. Each individual character has to be selected and the sub/superscript box ticked. I also thought that the em-dash would work in SL 2.

I don't think that I've changed any settings, I just can't format text quickly which is frustrating

Has anyone else come across this?

Andy, you're right. I'd forgotten all about these. I'm going to submit a bug report.

For anyone who's wondering,

For Superscript, select your text, then on the keyboard press CTRL+SHIFT++ (Control key plus shift key plus plus sign)

For subscript, select your text, then on the keyboard press CTRL+= (Control key plus equals sign)

Just double-checked, and this works on text boxes in SL1; does not work in SL2

Andy,

I received a reply from Articulate, confirming that this is a bug. Here's what they said:

Thank you for reporting the issue. We have reviewed it and we were able to duplicate your issue. I have submitted your case to our Quality Assurance team for their review. As a workaround you can try superscript or subscript using other word editor and just copy it back to Storyline.

I cannot offer a time frame for when or if this issue will be resolved so please continue to take advantage of the workaround if you encounter this issue in the future.
