Change shortcut key to stop Storyline screen recording from Esc to another one

Hi, I'm creating step-by-step view mode recordings for a software programme which annoyingly and frequently uses the Escape key to change from one mode to another (eg, from selection to edit modes). 

As Storyline also uses the Escape key as a shortcut to stop recording, I'm having trouble capturing all my steps.  Is there somewhere I can change this to another key?

Thanks for any advice!

  • Hi Diane,

    Once you launch screen recording, the screen recording area appears with the red record button. Click the gear icon to access the settings. You will then see that the Escape key is set to stop recording. You should be able to put your cursor in the Stop Recording box and press an alternate key to set it as the Stop Recording key.
