Description of the problem:

I want to collect participant’s text response to word stimuli using editable textbox.

I used ‘TextBox’ in my experiment.

It works well in a local computer, Psychopy.

But, when I run the experiment on pavlovia,

‘space’, ‘backspace’, punctuation and English are not typed.

Only, Korean character can be typed.

Could you help me solve a problem?

I think your issue is already being looked at in the other post you made about it: ['space', 'backspace', punctuation don't work in TextBox on pavlovia - #6 by sotiri](https://discourse.psychopy.org/t/space-backspace-punctuation-dont-work-in-textbox-on-pavlovia/21827/6)

I forgive you 😉 but I’ll close this thread. Given that it’s a bit busy on the forum these days, I’m doing some congestion management. No worries though, while it might take a while, a competent programmer is on your case!
