allow us to change the default keyboard shortcuts
There is a bug with the play/pause function. Clicking pause on the on-screen keyboard does not work. Remapping keys in powertoys does not work. None of the key combinations involving the Fn key work.
A lot of keyboards don't have a pause/break button, so we need a way to map that to a different key. It's also better for workflow because we don't have to move our hands as much.
Also, F11 still works even though the documentation does not mention it.

Certificate widget exits the slide unexpectedly
I have a certificate widget on the last slide of my project. The Certificate Download is toggled ON. I have noticed on several occasions that when I try to click the Certificate Download icon in the top right of the certificate, the project exits and completes the exit action specified in the Preferences > Project > Project End, before I can click on the Certificate Download icon. I have added two buttons below the certificate widget, and the expected behavior is that I have all the time I need to click the Certificate Download icon, and then click one of…

This Is Where Good Ideas Come to Die
If the information here is never going to see the light of day in the form of actionable tickets, what exactly are we doing here? You keep ignoring bugs reported years ago; what hope do I have that anything I report will even be looked at?

Use the Project Name in Preferences for the tab description, rather than the filename
Currently there is a line in the assets > js > project.js file as follows:
pN:'My Captivate project filename.cpt'
The value for pN is set to the filename and extension of the Captivate Project. This is also the value that is shown as the browser tab description when running the project in a browser. It would be better if, instead of showing the filename - which has little interest to the user - it instead shows the Project Name under Project Information in the Preferences. The Project Name can be set to something meaningful to the user, which would likely…

Bug: Hotspot callout size is not reflected in actual course
The actual callout size when previewing or publishing the course is considerably larger than what is shown in Captivate. Padding settings are not respected.

QWERTY compatibilty
The Undo function is mapped to the AZERTY keyboard configuration instead of the QWERTY.
Actually, the undo function is assigned to the CTRL+W shortcut instead of the CRTL+Z. Crtrl+Z close the project.It's really annoing, as the undo function is a convention on Ctrl+Z on all QWERTY keyboard. It's occus in the french version of the new Adobe Captivate.

TOC Navigation Control Missing in New Adobe Captivate
Issue Summary:
In the new version of Adobe Captivate, Table of Contents (TOC) items are enabled from the beginning, allowing users to skip slides without completing them. This undermines the learning flow and defeats the purpose of structured eLearning.
Expected Behavior:
There should be an option or variable to disable TOC items initially, and enable each item only after the corresponding lesson or slide is completed.
Actual Behavior:All TOC items are accessible from the start.
Learners can skip ahead without engaging with the content.
No built-in setting or variable is available…3 votes -

Fix Captivate (new - 13.1) launch screen to be accessible at different text sizes.
I updated to 13.1 yesterday, hoping to be able to adjust the reading order in a classic project. Installed the new version and noticed that things didn't fit in the launch screen and were getting cut off. I clicked the Import button and selected the Captivate Classic option. The popup opened, but the image extended and was cut off at the bottom of the screen, and I was missing the Learn more link and the Continue button. There's no option to scroll or resize anything in the Launch screen, nor can you resize the launch screen itself. My colleague tried…

This new version is no where compare to Classic Captivate and now voted suggestion may take decade to be par with CPC
A new version should retain all the features of the old one while also introducing meaningful enhancements. However, the new CP still falls far short of CPC. The development team may not fully understand which CPC features users rely on, and some basic options have been removed entirely. For example, adding a simple text box now requires inserting an entire block, with limited editing options that are locked within a group. In addition, the new CP crashes too often. If every missing feature must go through a suggestion and voting process before the development team prioritizes it, it could take…

Publishing simulations as scalable HTML content in Captivate 13
Please reintroduce support for publishing simulations as scalable HTML content in Captivate 13.
The current limitations create accessibility concerns, negatively impact the learner experience, and introduce risks to training effectiveness. Simulation development represents approximately 99% of our Captivate use. Without scalable simulation content, it is difficult for us to fully adopt the new Captivate platform (which we are paying for). At the same time, Classic is becoming increasingly challenging to maintain and work with due to its age, installation issues, and compatibility limitations.1 vote -
BUG - when retaking failed quiz, learners get locked out if they exit SCORM and re-enter
When a learner fails the quiz, and presses the retake button, they are getting frozen out if they exit the lesson and re-enter. This does not happen on the first attempt - only when retaking. We've had multiple learners report this error and there is no way to fix it via the settings, it's a bug in Captivate.
To clarify, review mode is not enabled. The actual submit button is greyed out and changed to the disabled state. Please see image.

Change default state of the alignment and spacing panel
When clicking on visual properties the alignment and spacing panel is defaulted to closed. It should default to open or remember the state it was in when last used. At least until you ditch forced responsiveness which causes me to have to use this panel for every single object.

Make it easier to change AI-generated voiceover word pronunciation
I'm finding it difficult to get the text-to-speech to pronounce certain words correctly. Currently, I want it to say "lead" (the metal - rhymes with "bed"), but the AI-generated voice will only pronounce it "lead" (to guide, rhymes with "seed"). When I type in "led" to try and correct this, the voiceover spells it out (as in, "LED" light). Is there a way to adjust the pronunciation? If not, this would be a helpful feature.

Add options like Double click and Right click for the Click boxes in simulation.
I think what challenge we are facing now is, if I have added a Click Box manually to the simulation slide, it does not show options for Double click or Right click functionality. As I always reuse old simulation by just replacing screenshots, these click box functionality I need most. Currently in 13 version it only work with single left click for the Click boxes.
I am adding an image that show the options for UI if you are going to add these functionalities
