Hi,
I am trying to use arrow keys as validresonse in a Mac keyboard but it looks like that are not coded among the charachters that are allowed to press in the keyboard. They use just the number pad instead of the arrows, but I would like the participant to press the key with the actual arrow.
Is there any solution for this?
Many thanks,
Elena

What are the scancodes you have specified as valid responses?

75 and 77 (left and right)...but I would like the actual arrows if possible

You can determine the scan code for those keys as follows:
1) Run Inquisit Lab
2) Select "Keyboard Scancodes..." from the "Tools" menu
3) Press the arrow keys and note the numbers that appears on the Scan codes dialog
Those are the numbers you should use in your validresponse command. On my Windows computer, the left and right arrows are 203 and 205 respectively.

The keyboard scan codes for the arrow keys are 203 (left) and 205 (right). If you want to know a given key's scan code, open Tools -> Keyboard Scancodes... in Inquisit Lab.

Thanks! They are actually the same than in Windows.
