| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse** | Moves onto the next part of the **Logic** once the assigned key is pressed (or held).                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| `Is Alt`           | **Bool**  | Whether or not the **Alt** key was also pressed in combination with the assigned key.                                                                                                                                                                                              |

| `Is Repeated`      | **Bool**  | Indicates whether this is a repeated/subsequent execution of the **Event** (`true`) or the initial time it is executed (`false`).
