Hi IngridCarrer168 I think they might avoid that due to potential conflict with other system and accessibility tool shortcuts. There could be another reason, just a theory.
Here's the JavaScript to do what you want. Just add this to the timeline start trigger.
document.addEventListener("keydown", function(event) {
if (event.ctrlKey) {
const player = GetPlayer();
const current = player.GetVar("ctrlkey") !== true;
// forcing the "ctrlkey" value to change everytime the CTRL key is selected
player.SetVar("ctrlkey",current);
}
});Attached is an example of implementation that just triggers an animation every time the CTRL key is selected.
Is there any way to make this functionality work when doing the simulation in a browser? I tried it in SL and it works just fine, but now that I'm trying the published version in my browser, nothing happens :(
