Hi Matthew_M​ 

You can use a keyboard shortcut to trigger the custom Player tab, but I’d test more than just whether the shortcut works.

Check that:

  • the shortcut doesn’t conflict with an existing Storyline shortcut;
  • keyboard-only users can reach and use the content;
  • focus moves somewhere logical when the help opens;
  • the help content has a sensible Focus Order;
  • focus behaves reasonably when the help closes;
  • the published course works as expected, not just Preview.

The key is to test the complete interaction, not just the shortcut itself.
