- We are upgrading a keyboard-based multiple-choice survey to
- include a series of short answer responses.
-
- We are currently using the numeric keys as choice selectors
- and Q and W relabled as previous and next arrows. I am
- interested in hearing some suggestions for allowing an
- unlocked field on the card while still having basic
- navigation. The best I've thought of is to put a keydown
- handler in the field looking for specific keys that act as
- navigation keys. But then, what if you need to use those
- keys in your response.
