Group: Forum Members Posts: 7, Visits: 44	Hi there, I am completely new to Inquisit. So I want to let participants retype a passage. They will see the passage and they will retype it in the textbox. I want to disable the backspace key of Windows / delete keys of Mac so that they could not go back to change the mistakes. How to do this? What is the exact code? -Yihuan Tags disable key

Group: Forum Members Posts: 7, Visits: 44	Dave, thanks for your reply! I really appreciate it! I did some research and found this FingerTapping task: http://www.millisecond.com/download/library/FingerTapping/. It records the number of times participants press the space key. I wonder if I could use its code and make some changes to it, so that I could record the number of times the backspace key being pressed when the participants type in the textbox?
