<PgUp> or <PgDn> works in PowerPoint because PowerPoint is always linear; Storyline is not. I like to work with the "scenes" window pane undocked and on a 2nd monitor so I can always see it and access it. I also find the drop down box in the scenes window convenient to jump from scene to scene without returning to the story view.
I work pretty much the same way. However, I noticed while in the Scenes panel the <Up>, <Down>, <PgUp>, and <PgDn> keys all provide navigation. These keys do nothing while working on a slide (unless an object is selected, and <PgUp> and <PgDn> still do nothing), I seem to be forced to go back to the Scenes panel to go to the previous or next slide within the scene.
I am also trying (learning) to make the most of all the shortcut keys to reduce the amount of keyboard-to-mouse-to keyboard hand movement, so that is why I am interested in this.

Hi Matt, yes, you can set triggers on Master slide to jump to previous slide or next slide when user press a key on <PgUp> or <PgDn>.
Thanks, Joanne.
To be clear, I am looking for navigating between slides while developing. Yours is a great solution for the published course.

Thanks again for your perspective!
