Hi, I have a code that allows participants to input text into PsychoPy with the Keyboard in real time. It works well but when I want it to add spaces between the letters it adds a line break instead. I tried several ways of adding spaces but they all seem to just end up in line breaks and simulate \n. Does someone know how to add spaces to a visual TextStim?
while True:
#win.flip()
keys = event.getKeys(keyList = ['space', 'return', 'backspace','a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z'])
if any(key in keys for key in ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z']):
textbox.text += keys[0]
if 'return' in keys:
break
for key in keys:
if key == 'backspace': # Handle backspace
textbox.text = textbox.text[:-1]
textbox.draw()
print('backspace')
elif key == 'space':
textbox.text += ' '
print(key)
else:
if len(str(textbox.text)) % 75 == 0:
textbox.text += '\n'
else:
textbox.text = textbox.text[:-1]
textbox.text += key
print('input', textbox.text)
textbox.draw()
welcome_stimuli[stimuli_order[i]].draw()
