Adobe Captivate 6 and Shortcut Keys

Question

I have designed a course in Adobe Captivate 6 and want to include a Shortcut key such as CTRL+O which the user hits to perform an action like they do in a production system they are being trained on for their job (non Adobe related).

When I set up a slidelet and the associated Action via a Shortcut to jump to a slide further down in the presentation this works in preview fine, but when I upload it to the LMS and test it there, it performs an Open function instead because this is being run in an Internet Brower.

Does anyone know of anyway for the Captivate CTRL+O to supercede the Internet Explorer CTRL+O?

Please let me know either way.

Thank you...................

Browser functions ALWAYS come before any functions of the content within the browser.

Trying to create course content that replicates keystroke shortcut behaviour of applications that use Function keys or Control keys is doomed to failure.

I would recommend you find another way to display the required keystrokes (e.g. buttons or images on screen) and get your users to click with their mouse to indicate the correct keys.
