Scroll to Sections with Arrow Keys makes Text in longer sections unaccessible

    In Safari the standard behaviour is that you can use the Arrow up and down keys to scroll smoothly through web pages.

    ASE redefines this behaviour by using the Arrow up and down keys to jump to the next/previous section.

    With longer text sections that means that the user has to use other means to scroll into the longer part of the text.

    I deactivated ASE completely, and the scrolling works as expected – so the problem is in the ASE handling of the Arrow Keys.

    I looked into the code and in public/assets/js/scroll-nav.js there seems to be the handling of the srolling to sections. Unfortunately I could not find a simple way to switch this behaviour off (e.g. I tried to set S.settings.arrowKeys to false in line 307 after the user defined options are in).

    Thank you for any hints to make this great story telling plugin standard conform.

    Hi I will be investigating and addressing this issue and will try to address this in the next version of ASE.

    Version 1.7.7 of Aesop Story engine changed the key behavior. It now uses PgUp and PgDown keys instead of arrow keys. Hopefully this address your problem. Let me know if you would like to see further changes in behavior.

    Thank you very much!
    I contacted clients who really, really wanted to use the arrow keys, and they are really happy now, and all is well ??
    Thank you for your quick reaction!
