Extra Action Button?

[Sorry if this isn't in the right area]

Is there a way to add an extra action button to your game? On a gamecube this would be X and Y, on a playstation square and triangle...

I basically want the player to be able to press a key on the keyboard to do something special, such as show extra text when near a person or object.
 
There are several extra buttons you could use built in to the system: L, R, X, Y, Z, A, along with B (cancel) and C (action). They correspond to Q, W, A, S, D, and Z on the keyboard (respectively). If you want something to happen when the player presses one of them, try a Parallel Process (Common Event) that uses either a Conditional Branch or Button Input Processing.
