fix: keyList must be a list, not a bare string - #334
Merged
Conversation
getKeys() filters with `key[0] in keyList`, so 'escape' matched a/c/e/p/s and silently aborted running experiments. 'space', not 'spacebar' -- the latter is not a psychopy key name and only worked as a substring.
Over-permissive continue prompts; identical substring bug to the previous commit.
