Custom Player Tab with Keyboard Shortcut
Hello! I recently watched the webinar on How to Create an Accessible Drag-and-Drop Interaction in Storyline 360 and in there they show a custom player tab that shows all the accessibility controls. It looks as though it has a keyboard shortcut enable for the custom tab itself, and I was trying to find information on how to do that.
They mention it was covered in another webinar called How to Create Accessible Courses with Articulate 360 however it seems as though that webinar was updated and no longer covers the custom tab.
I like to include a 'navigation help' screen in my courses for people who are unfamiliar with the storyline player, or just not as tech savvy and may need assistance, but I cannot figure out how to add a keyboard shortcut to that menu to make it more easily accessible to those not using a mouse.
Can anyone point me to the original webinar where that subject was covered, or maybe fill me in on how they added a keyboard shortcut to that custom menu tab? Thanks!

There are probably a few different ways, but the easiest one-and-done is to add triggers to the top-level master slide:
They could be added to each slide individually, or even to specific slides if you so choose, but by putting them on the master slide, the triggers are essentially embedded in every instance of that slide you create. The illusion is that the keyboard shortcuts are triggering the navbar accessibility options but the reality is probably that the navbar is triggering its own lightbox independently of the keyboard shortcuts. They're simply lightboxing the same slide.
