Creating a keyboard menu
Keyboard menus offer an additional level of interactivity, as these allow particular keys on a keyboard or
remote control to select a particular menu entry. As with other menus, selecting a menu entry triggers a media
file. Creating a keyboard menu is a four-step process that requires:
Creating the menu, using the menu_select.svg template file.
Mapping keystrokes to menu actions, using the keystroke.svg file.
Selecting the media, using menu_select.svg again.
Testing the results in XPress, using the Interactivity Mode.
Creating the menu
To create the menu:
1. Create a new project in the My Projects tab. For this exercise, name the new project "Keyboard Menu".
2. From the Interactivity folder in the My Templates tab, drag the menu_select.svg file into your project
(FIG. 72). The document size will adapt to the area.
3. Double-click the menu_select.svg file to open it (FIG. 73).
4. The file is now ready to add menu items to the project. These may be images, text, SVG files, or even
videos. For this exercise, go to the My Templates tab in the Workspace, open Cliparts, open Arrows, and
add three different arrows to the file (FIG. 74).
