Arrow keys to navigate slides
Hello, do I need to set up individual triggers on each slide to enable end users to use the left and right arrow keys to navigate slides or is this in-built functionality?
Also, I'm going to have a bunch of pop up screens with enter/start buttons etc. Will pressing the 'space' or 'enter' buttons hit these buttons in effect and close the layer pop up screens? Again, would I need to set this up or is it built-in?
Hi Emma,
Great questions!
Both of the functionalities you describe here would need to be set up as Key Press Triggers. You could set up a trigger that when a user presses Right on their keyboard. Here is how you can do this:
- Double-click on the existing trigger that jumps to the next slide when the user clicks on next - this will open up the Trigger Wizard
- Click on the 'When' drop-down (it will be displaying the default "User clicks") and select "User presses a key" - this will display a new field called 'Key:'
- Place the cursor in this new field and press the actual key on your keyboard you want to assign the action to (in your example, press the right arrow button)
Let us know if you have any questions!
Hi Vincent
I tryed to add arrow key as a trigger but the trigger wizard recognize the arrows keys as a numeric keys.
For example, this happen when i try to enter the right arrow button (i tested in three different computers and i checked the keyboard configurations).
Thanks for your help.
