But when would I make it false.


Just before you test for any keyboard input. That way you don't have to "test for nothing" because "nothing" becomes normative.

EDIT:
Like this - see how you can do things based on no key having been pressed after the input routines.

Open in online IDE
Graphics 640,480,0,2
SetBuffer BackBuffer()

keyPress=False
output$="Blah"
x=320

While Not KeyDown(1)

keyPress=False
If KeyDown(203)
	keyPress=True
	x=x-1
	If x<-150 Then x=639
	output$="Coo, I'm going left!"
EndIf

If KeyDown(205)
	keyPress=True
	x=x+1
	If x>639 Then x=-150
	output$="Coo, I'm going right"
EndIf

If keyPress=False Then output$="Awww, I am idle :/"

Text x,240,output$

Flip
