Need efficient way to advance through slide timeline with keyboard or screen reader

When using the keyboard and screen reader to go through a Storyline course, there is no easy way to advance in chunks through a slide's seekbar. I can press the right arrow or left arrow (or PageUp or PageDown keys, which do the same thing) but it only advances or rewinds by about 1 second. So if I want to move to minute 1:00, I'd have to hit the key about 50 times in a row. This is a terrible user experience for any keyboard user trying to skim through a slide. The Home and End keys take you to the very start or end of the slide, but if the slide is of any appreciable length, it its an ordeal to try to jump to somewhere in the middle of the timeline.

Would want the PageUp or PageDown keys to advance at least 10 sec, and/or perhaps give different sized jumps for holding down CTRL or SHIFT when pressing the right/left arrow keys or PageUp/PageDown keys.

    Hi DLearning​,

    Thanks for the feedback on the type of functionality you'd like to see in Storyline.

    At the moment, Storyline does not support a way to customize how far the seekbar advances when using keyboard navigation. I understand that larger keyboard seek increments or modifier-key shortcuts can improve the experience for accessibility-focused users.

    I've submitted this request directly to our product team, and we'll be sure to notify you if we release a future update that helps!
