I’ve used the following in a free recall task.

```auto
if cursorCounter >= 30:
    if cursorVariable=='|':
        cursorVariable='.'
    else:
        cursorVariable='|'
    cursorCounter=0
cursorCounter+=1

if subject_response_finished:
    continueRoutine=False
    
keys = event.getKeys()

    if 'escape' in keys:
        core.quit()
    elif 'backspace' in keys:
        if len(recallitems[thisitem])>0:
            recallitems[thisitem] = recallitems[thisitem][:-1]
        else:
            recallitems[thisitem-1]=recallitems[thisitem-1]+recallitems[thisitem]
            for Idx in range(thisitem,6):
