How do I check if three keys or four keys are being held down

at the same time, few keyboards will allow it.
Separate, put multiple conditionals within the loop or use hat blocks.

so only some computers will allow 3 or 4 keys all being held down?

most are limited to 2, depends on the hardware how many they can handle.

oh so nintendo switch can handle it but Chromebooks can't? (i know that Nintendo switches can handle it because in the Sans fight if you press all four buttons down on his slam attack you will jump as soon as he slams you into any wall and also gamemaker is in JavaScript from what I know)

Do you mean any 3 or 4 keys?

I've never encountered a computer that couldn't handle many keys being pressed. Many computer games simultaneously many have key inputs, with WASD, space, or arrow keys.

I made a project to get all of the keys pressed if that's what you're looking for.

i'm going to assume you meant like pressing any four different keys and no I mean like pressing all four arrow keys

but I'm on a Chromebook and it won't register all the arrow keys being pressed

Oh, then it must be a hardware issue. Since the project works completely fine for me on my device, and on multiple browsers.

As an example, here is an image showing all the arrows being pressed simultaneously:

You could use the and operator block then, and copy and paste them:

Or you could use a list with the keys.

Yeah you might need another computer or keyboard then:
