Hello, I am trying to use PsychoPy to analyze keyboard input patterns for cognitive information processing research in Korea.
In the previous PsychoPy 2021. version, when I typed in Korean (e.g., “ㄴ”), the corresponding English key (e.g., “s”) was recorded. However, since the 2023 version, when I type in Korean, “N/A” is recorded instead.
I’ve also had this issue for a while because it affects the backspace key. My workaround was simply to assume that if N/A is pressed then it means backspace, but that won’t work for you if it’s affecting multiple characters.
Have you tried an editable textbox? The best alternative is probably to use 2022.2.5 because we’re unfortunately not expecting a fix for this until late this year or the first 2025 release (due to the number of higher priorities for our web development team).
So it seems the simple solution to this issue is to use the PsychoPy 2021 version. I was also using a textbox component along with it since my purpose was to analyze keystrokes written in the sentences of textbox.
I’ve just updated my Key Check demo key-check [PsychoPy] to show that you can use an editable textbox to monitor for the last key pressed. Select textbox at the expInfo dialogue box.
Linking to related threads, though this would be less useful for a binary response in an RT experiment.
