Set next and previous page navigation keyboard shortcuts on multi-page web format

Question

There is a way to set the Right and left keyboard keys to go to next/previous pages in the multi-page web format.

I'm considering changing from web to multi-page web for better performance, but the lack of keyboard navigation has been a factor in this decision, there is a possible workaround?

Answer 1

Try exporting (in5 > Export HTML5 with in5...) with the Page Format set to one of the Slider formats. Here's more info:

Already was in Slider (fade in), but tried in the other 2 but no results

Would you be able to send us your InDesign file (or a sample file that recreates the issue)  and your html5_output to:

Sent the files

You can use Presentation Mode when the Output is set to Multi-page web to enable keyboard navigation. Here's how:

• Go to in5 > Enhancements > Presentation Mode
• In the Presentation Mode dialog, select
  • Enable Presentation Mode
  • Enable Keyboard Navigation

Myra's solution above is the best way to get the navigation to work with keyboard arrows. I saw your other question come through as well and requested that you send files so we can help you troubleshoot.
