[solved] text_input without the 'enter' key

edited March 2016 in OpenSesame

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
