[solved] text_input without the 'enter' key

Zigi

Hey, is there a way to input text into an input_text object without needing to press enter? I'm currently designing an experiment with multiple input_text boxes and it is quite cumbersome for the participant to mouseclick-input text- press 'enter' after each one.

thanks in advance,
Asaf

Also, I'm currently writing the experiment in python, so if anyone has an answer in python that would be great although an opensesame one is also good

Hi Zigi,

I'm afraid not, or at least not with OpenSesame forms. Perhaps you can think of a different way to make the process a bit less cumbersome? For example, you could use a series of form_text_input items, so that each time that the participant presses enter, he/ she automatically goes to the next text input?

Cheers,
Sebastiaan

Thanks Sebastiaan! Can you be more specific about how one can implement this series of form_text_input items? Ideally I want them all to be visible at the same time (i.e) not a loop in which every successive item appears only after the previous one has been completed.

Thanks,
Asaf

Nevermind, I figured it out Thanks!
