Storyline 360 Navigating with "Down Arrow" key

Yes!

Weird... you can go down to slide two and then it navigates only through layers...

It's a bummer... I find I'm having to rely more on my mouse in this version of Storyline.

Hmmm, so my down arrow key words for me in Story view just not if I have a slide open and then want to go to the next slide in the list. Is that what you're seeing too? I do see that it worked within Storyline 2, so that's something I can ask our team about if there was a reason for the change in behavior or if it's something that we can fix. 

Yes Ashley, that's the problem... Can it be fixed?

Hey Jim - thanks for confirming. I'll leave that answer in the hands of our QA team, but I reported it to them so that we could take a look and showcased the difference between it in Storyline 360 and Storyline 2. I did find that the down arrow sometimes worked in Storyline 360, but sometimes is definitely not a great experience.  So as they take a look at it, we'll monitor the way this issue impacts our customers and figuring out how a change here might fit in with other priorities. 

Somewhat related to this is the fact that Duplicate (Ctrl-D) and Copy/Paste (Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V) also behave weird in Story view. I used to be able to select a slide and press Ctrl-D repeatedly (or Ctrl-V if I'd copied the slide). Now I can only press the keyboard shortcut once before I have to re-select the slide and do it again.

Thanks Jim - this I'm unable to replicate in Storyline 360. Within story view I can click on one slide and use the CTRL+D to duplicate it a number of times (I did it about 4) without needing to reselect the slide. Within the scene view list on the left hand side, that is when I can only conduct the CTRL+D once before I need to reselect the slide I want to duplicate. 

I'll include this note and experience in the report I already filed so that our team can take a look at that as well. 

Sorry... you are correct. I meant scene view.

No worries Jim - and just wanted to make sure I shared it correctly with our QA team. Since it does work in Story view vs. scene view I'd recommend keeping that in mind as a workaround in the meantime and the ability to reclick on the slide in question to be able to duplicate. 

Let's add another to my wish list. In Preview mode, I used to be able to press the Escape key on the keyboard to exit back to story view. Now I have to click on the Close Preview button with the mouse.

Thanks Jim - I can include that mention in the discussion I previously shared with our QA team as I tested it out as well and wasn't able to use the ESC key to close preview as you mentioned. 

Y'all should just hire me to break your products. :oP

LOL - well we do always need new Beta testers...get a sneak peak at products before they're released. Is that payment enough? 

Sign me up!

Ashley. Here's another 'quirk' I've discovered. Would you rather I eMail you directly?

Hi Jim,

Happy to have it here in the public forum as then other users can come across it too - but you can also always send these to our Support Engineers. They're around 24/7 to help check issues and file bug reports! 

It appears the "T" shortcut key when you right-click in notes does not work. 

How is a character shortcut supposed to work in a text field by the way?

Technically, I should be able to press Alt+t or Ctrl+t when this menu is open to have the text in my clipboard pasted... but it's not working.

It's not working at all, anywhere, right?

Correct.
