    Use letters instead of numbers for responses?

    [edited from support email]
    I have a series of scale questions where I need the participant to use the keyboard instead of selecting choices on the screen with a mouse. It's four choices and I want the participant to use the keys 'F' 'G' 'H' and 'J' for the choices 1-4. Is that possible?

    Currently, the option has to correspond to a number key. Specifically, the numbers 1 through 9 or the F1 through F12 keys, the latter corresponding to options 1 through 12. It is on our to-do list to allow for alternate key mapping--i.e., to be able to specify alternate keys which will be regarded as valid responses for any given option.
