Interactive Buttons having two event types (Tab+Click)?

[jacobr22669069]

I have created an interactive PDF.  There is a text-based list of options (Not a dropdown list) in the form. 

When you click one of the options an image will pop up.  If you click the next text option it will take down the first image and pop the second image up and so on and so forth. 

However, I would like the images to do the same events as someone tabs through the options instead of clicking on each option.

I don't see an event type for the tab key to trigger an event. 

Is it possible to have the tab key trigger an event? And if the tab key is able to trigger an event, could I have it where the user could use both (tab and/or click)?

Yes, but you can't set it in InDesign. You'll have to add that in Acrobat Pro, where the Actions Trigger menu includes "On Focus." Add a second instance of the same Action, with the alternate Trigger.

What if I selected "On Focus" as my event type in InDesign?  Would it function the same? Or would it have to be done in Acrobat Pro?

Sorry about that; I do all my form field work in Acrobat, so I'm no expert in InDesign's feature set, which is limited by comparison. Yes, you could set a second instance of the Action with On Focus as the trigger,  and it should work.

Thank you, I have only been playing with InDesign for about six months, so my knowledge is very limited. 

I appreciate the help!
