Hi, Jay.

I did some additional testing, so I need to retract/add to what I said above:

  • When previewing the course on a Mac (Storyline 360 through Parallels):
    • The PC keyboard works as expected (Ctrl+A)
    • The Mac keyboard works as expected (Ctrl+A AND Cmd+A)
  • When publishing the project:
    • On the Windows side, Ctrl+A works.
    • On the Mac side, Ctrl+A works, but Cmd+A doesn't. 

I'm attaching the .story file so you can take a look at my triggers.

As for Ctrl+left click, I am not aware of a way of using this combination in Storyline. My knowledge in Javascript is very basic, and not something we offer support on, but you might be able to achieve that through coding.
