The Wait command pauses the Dialogue for a set amount of time. The countdown pauses while the Dialogue is suspended. Your code can end the wait early by setting the Engine's skip_wait variable to true, for example from a skip input; Candy Dialogue Engine never sets it on its own.
Keys
Every key also accepts a ¢ expression instead of a fixed value, unless its description says otherwise. See CandyRef Expressions.
