Hi everyone, I am working on an experiment right now and am having trouble with the editable textbox. I have two loops in the experiment that use an editable textbox. The first one works, as shown in the first image. The second editable textbox (second image) is unresponsive, and doesn’t show any r…

try this (see the subtly change made to the code_2 component) CortexMini (2).psyexp (41.4 KB) essentially you just want to make sure any time a letter is added to the text object is is in upper case i.e. on the python side (left) everything reads: text.text = text.text + keys[0].upper() and on th…

Hi There, Using the textInput demo posted above you can copy and paste the code and text component into your experiment. To then make it so that the space also ends the routine the following edit was needed: if 'space' in keys: continueRoutine = False I have adapted the routine in you…

Hi Becca, This works really well, thank you! I do have one question about capitalization of the responses - is there a way to use capslock instead of shift? I tried to use it earlier on in code when I was working on this experiment, but it didn’t seem to be processing the key.

Hi There, Fantastic - pleased it works - please cold you mark that response as the ‘solution’ for future users? For your second Q, capslocks is a difficult one because the keycode for capslock on mac isn’t currently recognised ( Caps locks button is not working ) is it essential for you to have caps…

Hi Becca, The reason I wanted to use capslock was because with shift, the user has to press it every single time they want to capitalize a letter, so I was trying to find an alternative to that. Is there something that would capitalize the letters without them having to do this?

is it that you want all typed letters to be capitals or that you want participants to type sentences and letters are capitalized appropriately?

I would like all the typed letters to be capitalized.

The letters are all capitalized, thank you! However, whenever keys like ‘backspace’ are pressed, those also show up on the screen capitalized. Is there a way I can erase those so they don’t show up?

check the code component and check I haven’t added .upper() to the code line where backspace is pressed (sounds like I have, removing it should do the trick :slight_smile: )

woo! happy to help :slight_smile:
