ContextActionService without the use of one specific keycode?

Hello!

I was just wondering how I would go about creating a keybind system. I want to make a reset button, this default key is R, however when pressing on the key, after pressing the key, it’s still interact-able, which I want to avoid. I decided I wanted to try ContextActionService, however this can only be done with a single key/input type. What do I do now?

In the video, you can see it can be pressed multiple times, only after first pressing the button.

Here’s my script:

local UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')


script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Over.Visible = false
    script.Parent.Under.TextLabel.Text = '> <'
    UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, isSystemReserved)
        if not isSystemReserved then
            if string.len(key.KeyCode.Name) == 1 then
                print(key.KeyCode.Name)
                script.Parent.Over.Visible = true
                script.Parent.Over.TextLabel.Text = key.KeyCode.Name
                return
            end
        end
    end)
end)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Over.Visible = false
end)

i think i have a solution that doesn’t involve ContextActionServce:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Over.Visible = false
    script.Parent.Under.TextLabel.Text = '> <'
    local connection 

    connection = UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, isSystemReserved)
        if not isSystemReserved then
            if string.len(key.KeyCode.Name) == 1 then
                print(key.KeyCode.Name)
                script.Parent.Over.Visible = true
                script.Parent.Over.TextLabel.Text = key.KeyCode.Name
                connection:Disconnect()
            end
        end
    end)
end)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
    script.Parent.Over.Visible = false
end)
