Try putting it here:

```python
if keys[0] in allLetters:
            textFill +=upper(keys[0])

```

Or:

```python
if keys[0] in allLetters:
            textFill +=keys[0]
            textFill = upper(textFill)

```

Although, I’m not too terribly familiar with the way you’re adding letters. I use the `''.join()` method.

For the python to JS thing, there are a few functions that don’t translate well. One of the major issues is with `import` functions because they don’t exist in JS. Save yourself a TON of trouble later by avoiding those at all cost now. Check out [this thread](https://discourse.psychopy.org/t/variables-empty-in-online-script-looping-over-dictionaries/14137/3) and [this crib sheet](https://docs.google.com/document/d/13jp0QAqQeFlYSjeZS0fDInvgaDzBXjGQNe4VNKbbNHQ/edit#heading=h.niu1u15qj037) for help with translations! I’m honestly glad I mentioned the import function because fixing that later is not fun.
