The Screen recording will capture most keys (letters, numbers, tab, enter, etc.), and will display the key name in the captions under View Mode.
You have to be careful with function keys (F1, F2, etc.), as it could be browser-dependent if you will switch to Try/Test Mode. There's a conversation here about the use of Javascript to achieve this if you're interested.
Also, please keep in mind that Storyline has shortcuts set up during the recording, so if you plan on using any of those keys during your simulation, you will need to change those shortcuts in the settings.
What if I don't want it to record or separate the key functions ie it is breaking up first letter caps lock in one slide and then the rest of the word lowercase in another slide.
The text that you entered will be grouped in one slide, similar to this text screen recording that I did:
Every text in this slide, which includes upper and lower case letters, were captured during a screen recording. Could you let me know what you mean by you not wanting Storyline 360 to record or separate the key functions? If you have a sample Storyline project file that includes slides which could help explain what you mean, would you be willing to share a copy of it here so I can take a look?
