Using CTRL+Mouse Click as Action

[Guest]

I recorded a s/w simulation where I want the user to follow a sequence of keystrokes to ensure comprehension. I came across one sequence which I cannot get to work. I go into properties of the click box and select Actions>Shortcuts to record the key sequence CTRL + Left Mouse click but it does not record the CTRL key when combined with the mouse click. If I use CTRL plus some other keyboard key it works fine. Currently using the mouse click alone will allow the user to go to the next step but in the s/w this will not work so could be misleading.

Does anyone know how to overcome this hurdle or if it is a s/w limitation do you have any suggestions to mitigate it? I was thinking of having the key sequence as a test question to ensure those taking the course absorbed the information.

I found another thread a couple of years ago where it sounded like it was not possible but was curious if things have changed as I am using Captivate 5.

Thanks

Hi Roshan,

The "CTRL+Mouse Click " can't be used as shortcut key for a click box in Captivate 5.
