Disabling the Enter Key for Text Interactions
Hi Matthew, and welcome to the Storyline crew!
If you're using a text/data entry field, the enter key will behave as described here. I know some folks have looked at creating a larger entry field so that if learners did press the enter key it would only advance them to the next line vs. submitting the question. Would that work for you?
If you need some other ideas, can you share more details on your set up and needs?
I am having this issue currently with Storyline 360, and am not seeing the behavior as described in the link you provided. My multi-line text entry field automatically submits the interaction when the enter key is pressed rather than inserting a carriage return.
Can you provide more information about how to force it to work as described?
Hi there, Jim. If you're using a question slide, the Enter key will submit the response every time (unless you're using an essay survey slide). On a content slide with a text entry field, however, the taller fields will allow for the carriage return rather than submitting the text.
This example course includes a content slide, a graded fill-in-the-blank slide, and a short answer survey slide for comparison. What kind of slide are you using, and what kind of information are you looking to capture?
