Hi
Is there a way to save the button name that was pressed on a keyboard?
I do not mean to save 1 or 2 but the actual button e.g. "e", "r", "g" e.t.c.
Importantly, I do not want to do it via STATUS i.e. if STATUS == 1 then the button that was pressed was "e".
Thank you in advance.

Hmm,
I think maybe you are looking for the system variable KEYPRESSED. When you tell Psytoolkit that it should save this variable, I think you'll get the answer you're looking for. Haven't tried it at this moment, but I have a vague memory that I was searching for it some time ago.
Hope this helps,
best, Matia

Thanks matia for your suggestion. Unfortunately it did not work. It appears KEYPRESSED is for the cedrus response box only.

Dear yiannis, I have used the function KEYPRESSED without cedrus keyboard. But, you are right, this is not as straightforward  Here is how I have done it: task Name table Table1 keys 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 a s d #yiannis, I list every possible key that can be pressed, I know its not elegant but it works, u should probably show bitmap scale 0 200 #define every key from the keyboard... note that I had to define a key in the table (but it doesn't matter to me show bitmap @2 @3 @4 #is it categorized as correct or not, I'll handle it during data analysis readkey @5 10000 # For example, I defined correct key to be 4 but I could have easily said its the key a save TABLEROW @1 RT KEY KEYPRESSED #and you write you want KEYPRESSED variable clear Hope this helps, best, Matia |

There is no direct way to do this. Why do you need it?
