Is there a simple way to check if the space key is pressed and nothing else is pressed? I want the player to open their mini inventory when they are not pressing any other button (to do things such as moving, jumping, attacking, etc.) except for the space button.

You can with this block:

define is only space pressed?  // run without screen refresh
set [i v] to (1)
repeat (length of [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890
if <key [space v] pressed?> then
set [only space pressed v] to [true]
if <key (letter (i) of [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890]) pressed?> then
set [only space pressed v] to [false]
end
if <key [up arrow v] pressed?> then
set [only space pressed v] to [false]
end
if <key [down arrow v] pressed?> then
set [only space pressed v] to [false]
end
if <key [left arrow v] pressed?> then
set [only space pressed v] to [false]
end
if <key [right arrow v] pressed?> then
set [only space pressed v] to [false]
end
change [i v] by (1)

Also, if you want it to work for any key (including like .,/;' etc) you can modify the string of “abcde…” in the block, and add any characters you want.

Edit: 0 second ninja is wild

something like

define only space pressed
// run without screen refresh
if <key [space v] pressed?> then
set [only space pressed v] to [1]
set [i v] to [0]
repeat (length of [`1234567890-=qwertyuiop\[\]\\asdfghjkl;'zxcvbnm,./])
change [i v] by [1]
if <key (letter (i) of [`1234567890-=qwertyuiop\[\]\\asdfghjkl;'zxcvbnm,./]) pressed?> then
set [only space pressed v] to [0]
stop [this script v]
end

would work. there might be a better way to do this though
you can also definitely remove some of the characters from those blocks since i doubt you really need to check if, for instance, the user is holding the ` key when they hit space. removing characters will make it run slightly faster
