sending a trigger with keypress

Hello,

Is it possible to send a trigger with a keypress and not interrupt the trial?

My understanding is that, if the trial ends with the response, a trigger trial can be branched. However I would like to keep the duration of the trials constant, independently by the latency.

Hope I have explained the problem clearly enough?

Thank you

You can send a trigger upon response via a <trial>'s /responsemessage attributes. This will not affect /trialduration, it can remain constant.
