F9 as shortcut key in click boxes

I've captured a software program with Captivate 3. Now I want
my users to simulate the Function buttons. I've assigned a short
cut key to a click box, so when a user clicks the right function
button, they go to the next screen. Everything works fine except
when I use the F9 key, when I do that, the screen opens and
immediately goes to the next screen. I've checked the option 'Pause
for success/failure' captions as I did with the other screens,
without any succes.
Can anybody help ?

The correct answer needs the whole text you want them to
type. So 'mo' should be the answer and 'O' is the shortcut.

  • Tab key used as the shortcut key when using a text entry box

    When I use the Tab key as my shortcut key for a text entry box, it works fine in preview mode but does not work in the web browser preview mode.  I have tried to understand how I can take an existing project that is built for web browser application and make the tab key work.  The only thing I have been able to make my text feild entry take me to the next slide is to have the user click Enter instead of Tab and that is not the typical way we move between fields in the real application.  So....simulations is not accurate.  Can you give me step-by-step instructions on how to correct this problem in an already existing project?

    I think that you need to disable "Seamless Tabbing" in your file for it to work when published.
    You need to edit the HTML file that launches your course manually.
    Open your HTML file in notepad or equivalent
    Between the <object> </object> tags add:
    <param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="false">
    Save the HTML file again

  • How can I display the failure caption with click box when using function keys to navigate a sim?

    I am using the keyboard function keys to navigate a simulation using Click Boxes. For instance, F7 advances the simulation to the next screen, but if the learner selects F5, a failure caption displays. I have tried deleting and re-entering the click box, placing the click box at the top of the timeline levels, starting the click box at 0 and 0.5, making the click box visible and invisible, and make the click box the entire size of the screen.

    Well, I guess that's that. Thanks for replying, I do appreciate it or else I would have been trying for days, wasting all sorts of time.
    Until we meet again,

  • Certain action shortcut keys not working

    In my Captivate 5.5 training simulation, I want users to click Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. I've tried inserting a transparent click box and setting the shortcut to Ctrl+C. On success is set to go to the next slide.
    When I preview the training and I press Ctrl+C on my keyboard, nothing happens. I don't get the fail message and the slide doesn't advance.
    If I set the shortcut to something else, like Ctrl+L, it works fine. I'm guessing that certain Windows keyboard combinations are not allowed as shortcuts? Is there a way around this?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Like you said, it is not working when you keep a shortcut, which is same as a Windwos Default shortcut for certain action, even the Cp User Guide does not recommend to have a conflicting Shortcut --
    "Note:  If your Adobe Captivate project is displayed in a browser, set keyboard shortcuts that do not conflict with common browser shortcuts. For example, F1 is frequently used as a keyboard shortc"ut to display Help. The Control, Alt, and Shift keys map to the Control, Option, and Shift keys on Macintosh® computers, respectively."
    When such a conflict arises in project shortcut to System Shortcut, the System shortcut takes precendence and it overrides the project shortcut.
    Thanks!

  • The click boxes are not showing up right

    The click boxes such as on surveys or any thing is not showing correctly and therefore some sites says the I think intuit is not working. I'm not sure if that is correct as I forgot to write it down.
    Thank you for your help.

    Hello SAPPHIRE49,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

  • Custom text entry shortcut key

    I have a text entry field on my page. The user is to click
    the ? key. When they do this, I need to validate on key entry NOT
    on an ENTER or a TAB. ? is not an available shortcut key. Is there
    a way to make this work? I could even do an "any key" sort of
    thing, I just can't have them tab or hit enter.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Rather than chase after a custom text entry control, perhaps
    it's time to think outside the box?
    Are you testing the user's knowledge of a specific text
    string that needs to be entered in a particular field? If so, use a
    question slide with a picture of the field and/or screen for
    reference. The question can be multiple-choice, fill-in-the blank,
    whatever.
    If you're not testing the user's knowledge, then I assume
    you're testing their ability to use a keyboard? If so, ask yourself
    whether that's really the goal of your training.
    Text entry is an often and necessary evil of the training I
    develop, but the actual text to be entered is usually arbitrary
    based on the scenario. For this reason, we let Captivate record all
    text entry as animations and save "real" text entry boxes for times
    when specific text needs to be entered. I cover the first few
    animations by saying "to save time, we have entered the text for
    you" and then don't even bother with that.
    People have commented that the materials seem to go much
    quicker when they're not asked to type a bunch of pointless
    stuff.

  • ABAP workbench shortcut key :: T-code input

    Does anyone know the shortcut key for Transaction code input field?
    I mean something like "Alt+D" for IE browser.

    hi David,
                please check the following inf. this could be helpful for the question u have asked.
    You can use an input field to enter and edit text. It consists of a field name and the field data.
    Use
    When the input field has the focus [External], you can enter text and numerical data using the keyboard.
    Access
    Sequential element navigation works for input fields, which means you can move the focus [External] forwards to an input field using [Tab] or backwards using [Shift]+[Tab]. You may need to press [F2] to start the text editing process. If an underlying function exists, you can start it by pressing [F2] – this corresponds to a double click with the left mouse button.
    Help Functions
    When the input field has the focus [External], you can call up the help documentation for this field by choosing [F1]. If the input field has a tool tip, you can call it up by choosing [Ctrl][q]. You can open the context menu of the focused input field by choosing the [ContextMenu] key or [Shift][F10]. In more complex applications, the F4 help opens up a dialog box and provides selection options. If there is an F4 help, this is indicated by a small icon to the right
    Keyboard Usage for Interface Elements in SAP GUI for Windows NetWeaver'04 13
    SAP Online Help 10.07.2006
    of the input field, which appears as soon as the focus moves to the field. To call up a history list and choose one of your previous entries, choose [Backspace] when the text cursor is at the first position in the field.
    The system only displays tool tips and history lists if the settings under Options allow this. To call up the options dialog box, choose [Alt]+[F12] and the appropriate character key.
    Internal Navigation
    You can move the text cursor between characters using the right and left arrow keys within the input fields. Use [Ctrl][Left] or [Ctrl][Right] to go to the next or previous word. Use the keys [Home] and [End] to position the cursor before the first or after the last word or character in the field.
    Select
    To select characters in an input field, you can use [Shift] with the right and left arrow keys. To select the word before or after the text cursor, choose [Ctrl]+[Shift] with the left or right arrow key.
    Manipulation
    You can use the clipboard to copy or cut selected characters. Choose [Ctrl][c] or [Ctrl][x] to do this. You can paste them elsewhere by choosing [Ctrl][v]. You can undo your last action by pressing [Ctrl][z]. When editing text, you can use the [Delete] key to delete the character to the right of the cursor and the [Backspace] key to delete the character to the left of the cursor.
    When entering data, you can toggle between the insert mode and the overwrite mode by pressing the [Insert] key. When you are in the insert mode, any data to the right of the cursor moves to the right when you type. The insert mode is the default mode in the standard system. In the overwrite mode you overtype any data to the right of the cursor.
    Exit
    To finish editing, choose [Tab] or [Enter] to leave the input field and accept the changes made. To finish editing and undo the changes made, choose [Escape].

  • Is There a Shortcut Key for Change/Find ?

    Hello and thanks in advance,
    Using the InDesign CS-5  Find/Change feature, I am always using  the Change/Find button.
    *** Is there a way to create a shortcut key for this option, Change/Find ? ***
    Since I use it so often, it would be good if it could be one of the "F" keys:  F1, F2 or whatever.
    I looked under "Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts" ... but I could not find the option Change/Find there.  Did I miss it ?
    Thanks again,
    Zorba

    Here is what I have now done, based on the suggestions above:
    http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s90/robinwhitman/tech_support/id-edit-keyboard-shortcut s.jpg
    As you can see from the screen shot above,
    I have opened up the Keyboard Shortcuts Menu,
    Product Area:   Text and Tables
    In the Commands window I have selected:
    =====================
    Grep Replace wth Change to text and Find next
    ==============
    Now at this point, suppose I want to make the shortcut to activate this, the F4 key.
    I click to put the cursor into the cursor into the box that says, New Shortcut
    and then if I press "F4", it seems to be already taken by the Snow Leopard OS ... on my screen appears the Weather, calculator, calendar and clock.
    So I cannot assign the key and create the shortcut.
    Am I close to the goal here, or am I on the wrong track ?
    Thanks ... Zorba

  • Captivate 7 Button Shortcut Keys Not Working

    In captivate 7 I have several button interactions that worked in 5.5, but do not work in 7.  I am using shortcut key combinations (i.e. CtrlC and CtrlV) to have the user navigate to the next slide. I have replaced the interactions and they still do not work. Any ideas?

    I will provide more information.  The files I am working with were created in Captivate 4.  We moved up to Captivate 7 and these files had to be processed through Captivate 5.5 so I could open them in Captivate 7. The tasks being trained involve Systems Training where the user enters keystrokes, like the Enter key, and several key combinations, like Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V. In Captivate 4, to simulate these functions, I used the Transparent Button with No Mouse Click and the Shortcut Key or combinations. I had no problems, everything worked fine. When I was cleaning up the new Captivate 7 file, is when I noticed the key combinations (i.e. CtrlC, CtrlV) no longer allowed the project to navigate to the next slide. It does not produce a failure or show the Failure caption. It is like it is accepting the key combination as valid, but not performing the action to navigate to the next slide. The only way I found to get around this issue was to uncheck the Visible in output check box.
    I was also recreating some of these files from scratch in Captivate 7 and did notice unchecking the Visible in Output box would cause the button to be ignored and the project would just continue. I did notice the keystroke combination setting in the Shortcut on the button does not work.  Even in a clean Captivate 7 file. Further testing showed this is somewhat erratic. For instance if I assign CtrlA or CtrlN as keystroke combinations, the project navigates as expected. If I use CtrlX the same problem occurs as with CtrlC and Ctrl+V. Also, the Failure caption does not display when using a wrong keystroke combination. It only works with single keys, not to include Ctrl or Alt. In Captivate 4, the Failure caption displayed correctly with the keystroke combinations.
    I am using Captivate 7 (32 bit) with Windows XP SP3 on a Pentium 4 with 4 Gb of RAM. I know…extremely slow, but this is the best the state would provide. I hope this information has made things a little clearer.

  • Can i customize the shortcut key on my w541

    Create keyboard shortcuts to open programs
    You can create keyboard shortcuts to open programs. Opening programs this way is often simpler than opening them using your mouse or other pointing device. Before you get started, you need to create a shortcut for the program to which you want to assign a keyboard shortcut. To do this, open the folder that contains the program, right-click the program's executable file, and then click Create Shortcut. For more information about creating shortcuts to programs, see Create or delete a shortcut.
    Locate the shortcut to the program that you want to create a keyboard shortcut for.
    Right-click the shortcut, and then click Properties.
    In the Shortcut Properties dialog box, click the Shortcut tab.
    Click in the Shortcut key box, press the key on your keyboard that you want to use in combination with Ctrl+Alt (keyboard shortcuts automatically start with Ctrl+Alt), and then click OK.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    You can now use this keyboard shortcut to open the program.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • Shortcut key in Safari

    Hello all
    Question: When in Safari > Reset Safari option > A pop-up dialog box appears with two buttons at the bottom of the screen either CANCEL or RESET
    My question is, CANCEL is highlighted Blue by default. Is there a shortcut key to select RESET without having to move the mouse cursor over? I tried TAB or moving the right arrow key over but it doesn't do anything.

    Probably not. It's designed that way so that the user does not unintentionally reset Safari. Cancel is the default choice, and you have to purposefully click on the Reset button.

  • Overriding shortcut keys for specific applications

    How can I override the F9 key so that it works in Flash as its supposed to (open Actions dialog box)? I tried using the System Preferences but it isn't changing it. Flash will not allow me to reassign the key either. The F9 key shows all open windows even when Flash is active. Can I turn off the shortcut in System Preferences? I can't even find it...

    Open system preferences and click on Keyboard & Mouse, then Keyboard Shortcuts. Scroll down to Dock, Expose and Dashboard, there you will find all the key settings for this.
    Just click the box off for no key or click directly on F9 for All Windows and assign a new keystroke to it. You can choose an F key not already assigned or add a keystroke, such as control or option plus the F9 key.

  • Can I use Esc as a shortcut key?

    I'm using Captivate 4 to publish .exe files.  The software that I'm simulating uses the Esc key as a keyboard alternative to having to click the Back button on screen with your mouse.  I create the click boxes fine, and can select Esc as the shortcut key with no problem.  The problem comes in both preview and in the published .exe - if the user uses the Esc key, it escapes them from the program!  (I have other click boxes with function keys as the shortcuts and they work, so I'm fairly certain I'm doing it right.)
    Is there a way to use Esc as a shortcut key?
    If it makes a difference, the files will ultimately be published to an LMS... I'm just publishing as .exe for review until the new LMS is up and running.
    Thanks!

    Hi there
    As you have seen, Esc is the keystroke to close an EXE file. When you publish to SWF for insertion into the LMS it should work though.
    Cheers... Rick
