Hi, is there a way to ignore identical button presses? For example, sometimes if I press the B key, it would hit multiple times (bbbbbb) and thus the action would trigger multiple times. I've tried increasing the "hold" time and switching between press and release or even trying a stop synth input with a B -> B trigger but it doesn't prevent a "turbo" press. The device I'm using is a foot pedal where the input simply registers as a keyboard B key and the sensitivity is a bit wonky so that's why this happens. Any way to have it just do one instance and ignore additional presses for a certain amount of time? Thanks!

Try enabling the "No auto-repeat" checkbox in the options for the "B" trigger.

Forgot to mention I have that boxed checked off too :( is there a workaround way to recognize spam pressing and temporarily "disable" that action?

Try this instead:

That above means: Fire the action when "B" is pressed, but not if "B" was released 0.3 seconds ago or less.

Nice! So actually the reverse of it worked perfectly for me (where it would be a release, and negate with a 0.5 hold press no auto repeat). I feel the foot pedal sensitivity is wonky but at least it's guaranteed if I hold it down, it'll press it once and not spam which is totally the use case I was going for. Thanks!
