Using CTRL+X/CTRL+V to jump to a new slide - not working

Hi Holly!

It could be as simple as needing to adjust your Object on your Trigger to the actual slide or it could be a result of some of the following.

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.

There was also an update that addressed an issue, so be sure you're utilizing the latest update:

Thanks Leslie - object is the slide and I'm on the latest update (Update 7).

I've removed the trigger for now, as we are up against a deadline, but would be interested to know if it's just something to avoid or if there's a workaround (with or without javascript).

Hi Holly, 

What occurs when you try to use that trigger? Have you tested it in any other browsers to see if it's dependent on the browser? I know the common key press items such as CTRL V are typically reserved for the copy/paste/cut functionality - so that is likely what you're running into and if so I'd look at a different trigger set up or investigate workarounds such as Javascript which is not something we can offer support for, although the community is well versed in creating Javascript and may be able to weigh in here. 

Hi Ashley - the trigger does not fire, and we don't have much time to test so I've done something else instead, but will do some digging around javascript options when I have some more time to tinker. 

Thanks!

Certainly understand Holly - and feel free to let us know if you need anything else. 

I don't think there is a solution for this ones the system will alway catch system commands.

I agree with Phil, keyboard shortcuts that are used by the system or browser will always be 'caught' before they get to the Storyline content.

Thanks Phil and Michael, will avoid them in the future...

If Ctrl+S can be supported then why not Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V?

Hello Harish and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

As mentioned above, if the keystroke is used in a browser that will take precedence. I know the two you mention are very common across many applications.
