I'm using Captivate to record an editing session for
programming training. I'm recording keystrokes but not full motion
so that it normally should only take a full image (camera shutter
sound) and break that slide when I reach the end of a line and hit
the Enter key. It also breaks the slide when I hit the Tab key, and
I can live with that. BUT, and here is the problem, sometimes it
breaks the slide when I hit the space bar, and sometimes it
doesn't. It's inconsistent. It's weid - it seems if I go to another
window, like a DOS window that is within the capture, type a few
spaces and backspaces, it flips out of the mode where spaces are
significant. I return to the editor window and magically spaces are
no longer triggering and end of slide. I would love to (a) know how
to reliably and control whether spaces are "significant" and (b)
ideally be able to specify exactly which keys should trigger an
"end of slide".
As any programmer woudl appreciate, there are lots of spaces
in program source code and so it is a pain to have a single line
split across numerous slides, especially when I later want to add a
voice over explaining a full line. Yes, I can split the voice
across multiple slides but it is messy. Furthermore, one can end up
with zillions of slides quite quickly and that presents enormous
performance problems.
