Key Press Triggers in Layers

Hi,

I am trying to add key press triggers for Next and Previous slide options in Storyline 360.

This works well when moving from slide to slide, but I would also like to be able to use the Next and Previous options for moving between layers.

What I have found is that if a key press trigger is used on the base layer it can't also be used on the layers - so if I have the left arrow triggering previous slide on the base layer, a trigger using the left arrow to show a different layer on one of the layers doesn't do what the trigger states but moves to the previous slide.  Likewise, if I have the right arrow set to show the next layer, this works well for all of the layers but doesn't work on the last layer to show next slide.

Is there a slide/layer setting that I am missing that will allow Next and Previous key triggers to work seamlessly between layers and slides?

Thanks :-)

 

  • Hello. I am encountering this issue now and am on build 3.72.29699.0. Are there any other workarounds that are simpler than the one shared above? 

  • Hi Susan,

    I'm sorry you're having an issue with key press triggers! To help me understand your situation a little better, are you having an issue with key press triggers with layers or with sliders? Both issues are mentioned in the discussion.

    Thanks for reaching out!
