Keyboard shortcut does not work on first slide in Web Browser

I'm using a workbook to learn Captivate.
I added a keyboard shortcut, the Enter key, to buttons on the first and second slides.
When I preview the project in Captivate, the shortcuts all work.
When I preview the project in a Web Browser (specifically Firefox 3.6.16), the shortcut does not work on the first slide, but does work on subsequent slides.
Any ideas why this would happen?

Welcome to our community
The issue is typically a matter of focus. Particularly in Firefox. In IE, when the page loads and is presented, the Flash object (your Captivate movie) is given focus. So the keyboard shortcuts work. But that doesn't happen in Firefox. In Firefox, you must first click somewhere on the Flash object to give it focus. From there forward, shortcuts work because the Flash object is now listening for them.
In every class I facilitate I demonstrated this and advise that it's a good idea to have a button on the first slide. This serves two purposes.
It forces the user to click to proceed
It keeps the first slide paused until the user is ready
Yeah, before someone comes along and says: (in an annoyingly nasal tone) Mr. Man, you KNOW there is an option in Captivate to keep it paused at the start... I'm well aware that Captivate offers this option without adding a button, but I prefer it for the reasons above.
Cheers... Rick

  • Double Click on Keyboard shortcut does not work

    I want to change a keyboard shortcut. I have a Norwegian keyboard and the key combination for change active window in an application (multiple mail messages or Word documents) is not available. The Keyboard shortcut is set to ' - on my keyboard the ' character is <. The key combination < does not work unless I change layouts to a US keyboard. Keyboard shortcuts says that a double click on the shortcut will allow me to change the combination. This does not happen. I get an error bing instead. Any ideas of what is going on and how to change a shortcut in Leopard. I think this worked in Tiger. I have tried a hardwired as well as my bluetooth keyboard.

    Solved this one - you have to click on the key combination itself and not in the text area that describes the key combination.

  • Show Reading List keyboard shortcut does not work

    The Show Reading List keyboard shortcut (shift-command-L) does not work in Lion Safari 5.1.

    Problem has been fixed. I reported the bug to Apple from the Safari menu. Also, I had a different application that used the same keyboard shortcut for one of their hotkey's which I disabled. Then it worked fine. Shift-Command-L now shows reading list in Lion.

  • Keyboard shortcut does not work on ML

    Hi everyone!
    I've been in love with one smal feature of Lion: to send email with chosen file just out of the Finder by simply pressing cmd+shift+1.
    In spite of that this feature is available in ML disability access preferences it does not work at all. I'm not sure if TotalFinder caused this failure, because it worked perfect during times of Lion.
    Has anyone of you know some suggestion?

    Never heard of that shortcut before. Where exactly do you see it? In Accessibility? Which section?
    If I set up a shortcut with that combination, I do not get any warnings that it is in use.
    You would have had to set that up yourself or a program was helping you do that.
    In Mountain Lion, if you right-click, there is an Email option in Share.
    You could also create an Automator Service to do what you want and assign a shortcut to that.
    It quite possibly could be TotalFinder interfering with whatever you had set up before.

  • Sleep keyboard shortcut does not work in 10.4.6

    I just updated to 10.4.6 over the weekend. Unfortunately I realised that the sleep functionality seems to be broken. I have setup my machine to not go to sleep at all, but it tends to doze away after a few hours of being alive.
    Further, I used to use the keyboard shortcut Option-Command-Eject to put my machine to sleep, but this doesn't seem to work now.
    Anybody has any experience with this problem ?
    Thanks,

    This is related to the preference :
    Search for text when I start typing
    With the above preference enabled :
    and e10s turned off keyboard shortcut [ correctly is sent to Gmail
    however with e10s turned ON keyboard shortcut [ triggers page search instead of getting sent to Gmail
    Workaround - with e10s enabled then disable preference
    Search for text when I start typing
    only then keyboard shortcut [ correctly is sent to Gmail

  • Dead_greek keyboard shortcut does not work in gtk2 apps

    I have set the right windows key as dead_greek via xmodmap.
    This works great in Qt, GTK3 and non-toolkit apps, but not in GTK2 apps (Firefox, Thunderbird, Pluma, etc.).
    Any ideas on how to make it work in GTK2 apps?
    This is my .Xmodmap:
    remove Mod4 = Super_R
    keycode 134 = dead_greek NoSymbol Super_R

  • Keyboard shortcuts does not work

    Since I upgraded to iOS 8 my keyboard shortcuts sync between iPhone 5s and iPad Mini Retina do not work... I tried to use another Apple ID. Also tried full restores, but no effect yet. Any ideas?
    Thank You very much!

    Update on shortcut issues... the only solution that is reportedly working is detailed below. This has been used to fix both the reappearing shortcuts issue and/or the keyboard shortcuts crash on iOS.
    (1) On any affected iOS device go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content And Settings
    (WARNING this will obviously delete everything so you must be willing to go this far with no guarantee)
    (2) If you also have a Mac(s) proceed to step (3) otherwise skip to step (6)
    (3) On Mac, go to System Preferences > Keyboard >Text Tab and delete ALL the shortcuts you have there.
    (4) Using Terminal app on your Mac, the following command will place a “Real iCloud Drive" folder on your desktop which will allow you to see ALL the hidden items in iCloud Drive:
    ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/ ~/Desktop/Real\ iCloud\ Drive
    (5) Open this new iCloud Folder alias (you must choose to view it in a Finder window as list view).  Inside this folder is the folder called "Settings" and inside that, "Dictionaries.” Delete the “Dictionaries” folder and empty trash.
    (6) Set up your iOS device(s) as NEW. Meaning, you must manually reinstall any apps, settings, etc. Do NOT restore from iTunes or iCloud backup as that will just leave you with the same corrupted issue. Before going through all the time that takes, start with singing into your device with your Apple/iCloud ID and see if the shortcuts issue seem to be fixed and when you enter new ones they sync between devices and/or Mac.
    - This solution was suggested to me by a developer and it seems to have worked for my iOS shortcuts crashing & syncing debacle. The issues have not reappeared for the last week and all the shortcuts are properly syncing between an iPhone, iPad and 2 Macs. Please don’t get angry with me if you try this and it doesn’t work for you. I’m just sharing an option.
    - I continue to submit feedback to Apple about the issue and have still been having followup calls with AppleCare. They just keep saying “a fix will be in an upcoming iOS software update.” They’ve been saying that to me me since iOS 8.0 and we are now at 8.1.3…

  • Zoom keyboard shortcut does not work after GB '09 upgrade

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and iLife 09 and immediately noticed the keyboard shortcut for zooming in Garageband '09 has gone away. The doc says it changed from (Control-Arrow) to (Option-Control-Arrow) but neither one works. What's up? Is this a bug, a conflict, or an I/O (ignorant operator) issue?

    Nope - there is no Zoom keyboard shortcut in GB '09, but you can still access the feature from the 'Window' menu.

  • Spotlight shortcut does not work (ctrl + space)

    Spotlight shortcut does not work. When I press ctrl + space, nothing happen. When I click on magnifier icon by mouse, everything work well.
    In Spotlight configuration and also in keyboard shortcut configuration this shortcut is present and marked as active.
    I've also tried to disable and enable back this shortcut but it still not work.

    Hello Zeleznypa,
    For me, the default shortcut for Spotlight is Command - Space (not Control Space).
    OS X Yosemite: Spotlight keyboard shortcuts
    Open Spotlight to start a search  Command (⌘)-Space bar
    Open a Finder window with the search field selected  Option-Command (⌘)-Space bar
    I changed the shortcut in System Preferences to Control Space and it still worked with that.
    Could you check your keyboard with the Keyboard Viewer?
    OS X Yosemite: Use the Keyboard Viewer
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • Shortcuts does not work in Tiger

    I bought a MacBook Pro 2.4 two days ago. Now I am getting really angry after reinstalling and trobuleshooting for two days. Some shortcuts does not work, like "New folder", "Quit", "Empty Trash"...
    But some shortcuts work like, "Spotlight", "Hide other app.", "Send to trash".
    I have done everything to find out the problem, all troubleshooting.
    1. Create new Admin
    2. Empty caches
    3. Disk Permissions
    4. FSCK
    5. Safe mode
    6. Apple Hardware Test
    The Hardware Test gave me a error code: 4 SNS/1/40000000:TGOD
    The Apple support could not help me when I called them. I am really tired of this.

    I live 450 km from an Apple Store, so that is not the solution.
    The thing is that when you buy a new Apple computer, you dont't want to spend time troubleshooting the first thing you do before even installing your software.

  • When icloud drive  is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.

    When iCloud Drive  is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.
    ANyone found a solution to this?
    I Have tried it several times and when tured off iCloud Drive and tested the shortcuts on an email, all was working ok...turning icloud drive on again and again the keyboard shortcuts stoped working. Solutions?

    Hi Susana,
    I have a similar problem: when updating to iOS 8 my iPhone 5 the shortcuts disappeared and more over the keyboard often gets stuck. When repeatedly turning off iCloud drive the shortcuts are present again and the keyboard works as it should. A factory reset of my iPhone was not successful.
    The only "workaround" seems to turn off iCloud drive, however, this is of course no solution at all.
    Since reports on keyboard malfunctions are rather rare in this community, I think, you and I are using some special settings or apps which cause this problem.

  • My "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys arnt either? any help would be amazing!

    my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing!  I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not. 
    Anyone else feel me on this?
    any help?

    Well that still didn't make any kind of difference.  I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long.  I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid.  Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...

    I'm not sure if anyone has this issue. I use shortcut Email (name) and the Q10 pulls up a Compose screen where I can write a new email, can add Send To, etc., but when I click SEND, it does not send. I notice the Account field is missing my email account. and the SEND button is grey-ed out. but my email account is already set up in the Hub.
    Is there something I forgot to set?
