Registering key-presses 2 | XM Community
Skip to main content
I noticed that a response to my question (i.e., https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/955/registering-key-presses#latest) was accepted as an answer. However, my I'm still unable to register key-presses.



My problem was as follows: I used to use javascript in qualtrics to let respondents to respond by an 'h' or 'l' key-press on the keyboard. Apparently qualtrics made some changes in the program as it does not register the specific key that respondents pressed in the data file. I've contacted qualtrics support about this. They directed me to this forum for help. Can somebody advice me how to make qualtrics to register key-presses and continue to the fallowing question?



@LauerenK recommended to check out two posts (i.e., https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/899/0/#Form_Comment, and https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/comment/3606#Comment_3606). Unfortunately both didn't solve my problem.



Perhaps the fact that the my post was marked as "answered" declined the number of responses to my problem. As mentioned, my problem is still not solved. Again, any help is appreciated!
Hello @KD18! It looks like your previous post was in regards to how you can register respondent key-presses through the use of Javascript. The two posts I attached lead to discussions that provided the code needed to allow the system to register key-presses. I apologize if this was confusing, but it is what you would need to achieve your goal! If you are still unable to get the provided code to work, it sounds like there may be something else going on in your survey that is preventing these scripts from working properly. You can always comment on your post to notify those who were previously helping you! I would recommend being as specific as possible, and maybe even post a QSF of your survey so other Community members can quickly help you troubleshoot!
Hi LaurenK,

Thank you for your suggestion. I don't know what is, but apparently there is something wrong in my survey/script. I will share a QSF.

Thanks again, Koen
@LaurenK, do you know which program I can use to export qualtrics survey's?
Hello @KD18! Check out this page about exporting your survey QSF! Be sure to post it on your original discussion to notify those who had recently helped you 😀
@LaurenK, many thanks for your help!
