Hi all! I'm wondering if it is possible to have participants answer a multiple choice question (2 answers) with the keyboard (for example the 'F' for answer 'no' and the 'J' for answer 'yes')? I'm not (very) familiar with Javascript, so if there's an existing script for it that would be even better than great! Happy to hear from you! Best regards, Paul

As I said, it was untested. It turns out that the Timing Question works off a mouseup event instead of a click event. Other than that, triggering a click on the input elements has the same effect as setValueByRecodeValue.So, a modification to the script I posted previously that registers a timing question 'click':Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var qobj = this; jQuery(document).keypress(function(event) { var key = event.key.toUpperCase(); if(key == "J" || key == "F") { jQuery(this).trigger("mouseup"); if(key == "J") qobj.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(1,true); else qobj.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(2,true); } });});

Hi there! I have the following question in my survey.I added the following javascript to this question.Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var qobj = this; jQuery(document).keypress(function(event) { var key = event.key.toUpperCase(); if(key == "J" || key == "F") { jQuery(this).trigger("mouseup"); if(key == "J") qobj.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(1,true); else qobj.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(2,true); } });});Based on the comments in this forum I thought this code would work for my purposes, however, it only works when I press the J key (option on the right is selected). When I press the F key nothing happens. Also, I would like that when they press one of these keys the page is submitted, so they move on to the next screen without having to click the next button at the bottom.Thanks in advance!The code set-up answer base on recode value so set recode value of your answer to 1&2 accordingly.Add clicknext button code to the event listenerQualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var qobj = this; jQuery(document).keypress(function(event) { var key = event.key.toUpperCase(); if(key == "J" || key == "F") { jQuery(this).trigger("mouseup"); if(key == "J") qobj.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(1,true); else qobj.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(2,true);qobj.clickNextButton(); } });});
