Please do (one of) the following:


- Run Inquisit Lab on that Mac and check what Tools -> Keyboard Scancodes... returns for the attached keyboard's ESC key.


- Run a test script with a <trial> set to accept any response and check the response column for the value returned when you press the ESC key.


(AFAIK, ESC may map to scan code 53 on Macs.)

I have specified the ESC key as the quit command for my Inquisit script (scan code 1 as indicated in the Inquisit online help).  This works fine on a PC, but not on a Mac, at least when launched from Safari.  Is there a different set of mappings that need to be considered?


<defaults>
/ quitcommand = (1)
</defaults>
