 GDevelop gives access to all inputs made on the keyboard. This includes conditions to check if a key was pressed or released.
 
-## Any key pressed
+!!! warning
 
-For this condition, the corresponding action/s will be performed if any key on the keyboard is pressed.
+    Keyboard conditions do **not** detect the on-screen keyboard of touch devices. When making a game for mobile or touchscreen devices, use the [mouse and touch](/gdevelop5/all-features/mouse-touch) conditions instead, or a [Text Input object](/gdevelop5/objects/text_input).
+
+## Any key pressed / Any key released
+
+These conditions are true when any key on the keyboard is pressed (or released), regardless of which one. They are useful for "press any key to continue" screens. To know *which* key it was, use the **Last pressed key** expression.
 
 ## Key pressed
 
-Whenever the key selected while setting this condition is pressed, the corresponding actions are performed.
+Whenever the selected key is held down, the corresponding actions are performed. This stays true for as long as the key remains held.
+
+## Key just pressed
+
+This condition is true only during the single frame when the key goes down. Use it when an action should happen once per key press (for example, jumping or firing) instead of repeating every frame while the key is held.
 
 ## Key released
 
-Whenever the key selected while setting this condition is released, the corresponding actions are performed.
+Whenever the selected key is released, the corresponding actions are performed.
 
 ## Key pressed (text expression)
 
-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.

+### Key names
+
+The key name is **case sensitive**. Valid names include:
+
+* Letters: `a` to `z` (lowercase).
+* Number row: `Num0` to `Num9`. Numeric keypad: `Numpad0` to `Numpad9`.
+* Arrow keys: `Left`, `Up`, `Right`, `Down`.
+* Modifiers: `LShift`, `RShift`, `LControl`, `RControl`, `LAlt`, `RAlt`, `LSystem`, `RSystem` (left/right variants).
+* Function keys: `F1` to `F12`.
+* Editing/navigation: `Space`, `Return`, `Tab`, `Back` (backspace), `Delete`, `Insert`, `Escape`, `Home`, `End`, `PageUp`, `PageDown`, `Menu`, `Pause`.
+* Punctuation: `SemiColon`, `Comma`, `Period`, `Quote`, `Slash`, `BackSlash`, `Equal`, `Dash`, `LBracket`, `RBracket`, `Tilde`.
+* Keypad operators: `Add`, `Subtract`, `Multiply`, `Divide`.
+
+Note that there is also a **Key just pressed** variant of this condition, true only during the frame when the key goes down.
+
 ## Last key pressed
 
-"Last key pressed" expression returns the last key press in the form of a string. For example, if the last key press is the left arrow key, the expression will return "Left".
+The "Last pressed key" expression returns the name of the last key pressed, as a string. For example, if the last key pressed is the left arrow key, the expression returns "Left". This is the easiest way to find out which key a player pressed, for instance when setting up customizable controls.
