Function Keys Interactivity in Storyline Using JavaScript
I am creating simulation for a software in storyline. This simulation has function keys interactivity - F2,F3,F10,F11.
I was able to write trigger code - Jump to Slide when user presses F3 keys. ...
Just found this thread, and I'm in the same position. Writing training for a mainframe system and have to use the F1 - F9 keys. As someone already stated, F1 opens the Articulate help site, and F2 doesn't work at all.
Has anyone found a solution to this yet?
This does work, even for F1. It is a bit tricky, however because, as you pointed out, when you select F1 while authoring, the Articulate help site opens. If, however, you use your mouse to click back on StoryLine in the ribbon, you will see that the F1 key is still selected in your trigger wizard window. If like me you typically use the alt + tab shortcut to toggle between windows, you will learn that this particular window navigation method replaces F1 with Tab... so be sure to use your mouse to navigate back to SL from the help window.
