+Whenever the key selected while setting this condition is pressed, the corresponding actions are performed. This condition **stays true for as long as the key is held down**, so the actions run on every frame until the key is released. This is what you usually want for continuous movement.

+The corresponding actions are performed only on the single frame where the key goes from released to pressed. Use this instead of "Key pressed" when an action should happen once per key press (for example jumping, firing a weapon, or toggling a menu), regardless of how long the key is held.

 To test a key press using this condition, you need to enter the key name in the form of text expression. For example, if you want to check condition for left arrow key press, you need to enter "Left" in the field.

     Make sure that the key name is surrounded by quotes.
 
+Some commonly used key names are: `Space`, `Return` (the Enter key), `Escape`, `Left`, `Right`, `Up`, `Down`, `Shift` keys as `LShift`/`RShift`, `Control` keys as `LControl`/`RControl`, letters in lowercase (`a` to `z`), number row keys as `Num0` to `Num9` and numpad keys as `Numpad0` to `Numpad9`. When configuring the non-text-expression conditions, the dropdown list shows every key name that GDevelop recognises.

+The "Last pressed key" expression returns the name of the latest key pressed on the keyboard, as a string. For example, if the last key press is the left arrow key, the expression will return "Left". This is handy for building a "press any key to rebind" screen: read this expression to capture whichever key the player pressed.
