Shortcut Keys in Storyline LMS Project

Creating a storyline simulation for a new software company is using and it has built in shortcuts. In the simulation I have made variables that will use these shortcuts to show what it will do in the live environment. However, while it works as intended it also has the side effect of activating the Microsoft Windows shortcuts as well. For example, Ctrl + P in the software will print the screen but when pressed in LMS, Windows also brings up the print window, same for a few others like Shift+Esc brining up Task manger among a few others. Any way to block the windows shortcuts from activating while in the LMS?

  • I just went a different route and created the Shortcuts as computer key photos with the keystrokes labeled on them and then as they press that it will do the function. Suitable work around.

  • You are using OS based shortcuts, not ideal to block these, I don't think you can block ctrl+P in JS.

    You would be best to change the shortcut keys you are using.
