Hi Michelle,

You may want to begin by looking at some of the built in functionality for keyboard controls such as how the tab key will behave, or how the enter key behaves for data entry fields (fill in the blank). 

Additionally, you can set up the triggers for your navigation to correspond to a particular key click. When setting up the trigger you'll use the option listed under "Other events" and select "When user presses a key."  You'll see a box where you'll click inside and then press the key that you would like to correspond with the trigger and you'll see that updated there. 

Hope that helps get you started with your course! 

Hi Ashley,

I'm trying to get the tab navigation working in my storyline file but there are two main issues:

  1. The yellow box tabs from right to left at the top, and then down the slide - how can I get it to tab from left to right?
  2. Once an object is selected, for example a button (and yes it is turned on for screen readers in the Size and Position box), it can't be selected via the keyboard. The space bar and the enter button both do not work. 

Any pointers, before I submit a support ticket? 

Thanks,

Grace
