Clearing text in openended trial

Hi all - is there a script that will clear an open-ended text box? I'm new to Inquisit and trying to tackle my first program.

Goal: If a participant hits "Backspace," all of the previously entered text will be completely cleared, allowing the participant to re-enter text.

Bonus points: Is there another script that could code this action in the data output, so we could determine how often participants made mistakes and needed to clear the text?

Thank you so much!!!

No, <openended> elements cannot be made to behave like that, unfortunately.
