Hi, I have a code that allows participants to input text into PsychoPy with the Keyboard in real time. It works well but when I want it to add spaces between the letters it adds a line break instead. I tried several ways of adding spaces but they all seem to just end up in line breaks and simulate \n. Does someone know how to add spaces to a visual TextStim?
