Certain Key Responses Not Working in Online Experiment

Hi,

Unfortunately this hasn’t yet been fixed. I would recommend switching to z and . (period)

Have a look at key-check [PsychoPy] to see which keys work

Pavlovia not recognizing 'backspace' key

I have an experiment where I have people type their name. I want then to be able to delete letters (in case they typed it wrong). Locally, on PsychoPy, my code works. When I try to run it on Pavlovia, it longer does. When I look at the datafile, even though, I pressed ‘backspace’, the key is not in the datafile, which is why I think Pavlovia is not recognizing it. Here is the javascript code I am using. if(keyResp.keys != undefined && keyResp.keys.length > last_len) { last_len = keyResp.ke…

'backslash' in keys fails online

URL of experiment: https://run.pavlovia.org/Wake/dictation/ I am using keys = event.getKeys() if len(keys): with the appropriate event=psychoJS.eventManager; in code_JS Offline backslash is registered. Online, however, it seems that it fails at the len(keys) check. I’m trying to map a Hungarian keyboard (press the y key to advance past the instructions in the demo) and it seems that one key isn’t being presented. The student says it’s í but I can get that by pressing `. I can’t, however, ge…

Backspace key not working in online experiment

URL of experiment: PAS_24B_Prolific [PsychoPy] Description of the problem: Hi everyone, I’ve read the previous posts about the backspace key not working when the experiment is running online and still have not been able to solve my problem. I am running Psychopy v 2024.1.4. my experiment (code below) needs to collect typed keystrokes and their times. When running the experiment locally, all keys (including shift, spacebar… are recorded and show up on the screen). When running online, the only …

psychoJS.eventManager.getKeys backspace no longer working since version 2023.2.0

I’m collecting timed typed responses for an online experiment using the following code, which IIRC I adapted from one of Wakefield Morys-Carter’s demos. It is intended to get keys from keyboard presses, save RTs for each keystroke, and display the resulting string on the screen. So if someone presses ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘t’, they’d see ‘cot’, but if they pressed ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘a’ ‘t’, they’d see ‘cat’ instead. The code has run well for three years previously, but since updating PsychoPy I’ve noticed that the bac…
