Keyboard Shortcuts Buggy?
Hi Ashley,
Thank you for responding. I've looked though all the tutorials on existing shortcuts and how to add shortcuts to the quick access toolbar. The problem is in actually making shortcuts that are under dropdowns in the ribbon. You can make a shortcut for Align but none of the actual aligning options.
Try to make a quick access shortcut for Align Left in Storyline. No dice.
Try to access Make Same Size under Home>Arrange>Size. The command will stop as soon as you type S for Size. You can get to Make Same Size but you have to use the arrow keys rather than the clearly underlined S in Size.
Using keyboard shortcuts to quickly access the shape fill options sends the command to apply the last used color rather than enabling the dropdown menu.
I guess I may have ranted a bit in the first post but is this how the keyboard commands are supposed to be working?
The other issue is with which control has focus when the Format Shape window opens. Most of the time it's the close button. Other times it's the fill transparency numeric-up-down control or the Learn more link... for help, etc...
It's not like these things make the software unusable but when trying to automate some tasks via keyboard command scripts it's inconsistent and it seems like that may be a software bug of some sort.
