Text entry without a Submit button

Is there anyway to set up a Text Entry object to jump to the next slide when the correct characters are entered and no other action takes place. In other words - no submit button or user action ...

I am working on what sound like the same issue. I have figured out how to accomplish everything except one aggravating detail. I’ll spell out I got where I am and then bring the bad news in at the end.

I will assume here that you already have the text entry fields created.

Created is trigger. Jump to next slide-When user presses the Tab key-If TextEntryX is equal to, ignore case XYZ.
Created is trigger. Show layer incorrect-When the user presses the Tan key-If TextEntryX is not equal to, ignore case XYZ
There should already be a trigger created by the TextEntry filed titled “Text Entry” Set TextEntryX equal to the typed value-When the control loses focus
In preview, it works great and I can go through 10 fields (1 field per slide) by typing in the field and pressing tab key.

Here is the bad news. In Review, you must click in the field before you type. Even though you can see the cursor blinking in the field. It seems the focus is not automatically on the Text entry field and I haven't found a way to make it.
