Request: More Keyboard Shortcuts

One of my favorite things about Adobe's software suite (as an example), and what really set them apart from other programs for years, was how well they integrated keyboard shortcuts throughout the suite of programs, and how specific they are. There is a shortcut for almost anything and everything - sorta. After Effects is a great example; you can navigate across a video, add a layer, edit an asset, or do an almost infinite number of things simply using keyboard shortcuts. All of which are great time-savers. 

I would love to see more keyboard shortcuts integrated more across Storyline 360! 

Here are some rough examples of what I mean:

  • CTRL + ] Go Forward a Slide (In Editor)
  • CTRL + [ Go Back a Slide (In Editor)
  • CTRL + " Go up a Layer (In Editor)
  • CTRL + ' Go Down a Layer (In Editor)
  • CTRL + / Go Forward One State (In/Open 'States' View)
  • CTRL + . Go Back One State (In/Open 'States' View) 
  • CTRL + R + P Replace Picture From File (if applicable) 
  • CTRL + S + P Size and Position Properties (if applicable) 
  • Shift + ] Go to Beginning of Timeline (in Editor)
  • Shift + [ Go to End of Timeline (in Editor)

Then having a library of these keyboard shortcuts that users could refer to would make for the ultimate cherry on top. I'm a fiend for keyboard shortcuts, and combining keyboard shortcuts with hotkeys makes for a lightspeed workflow. 

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? What shortcuts would you like added?
