Disable Space Bar and Return Keys?
My course has triggers in it that perform specific actions when the user presses the space bar (specifically). I'm getting some weird behavior sometimes in testing when I press the space bar - it ...
Hi JR,
Using the space bar is a part of the accessibility features in the sense that the user would tab to an element and then be able to "click" on it using the spacebar or the enter/return key.
If you've added triggers that involve the user also utilizing the spacebar key, I could see how that may be confusing for the user. On those slides where you don't want them to use those keys you may want to look at providing directions on screen or setting up triggers that would remind the user with a layer pop up (i.e. when the user presses the space bar the user sees a layer that says don't use the spacebar on this slide) which would override them using the space bar to click on buttons unintentionally.
