keyboard_input.just_pressed in basic_dynamic_character example works only sometimes

[silentbat]

Very new to bevy_xpbd, I hope this is not a silly question..

What I did:
run the "basic_dynamic_character" example in release mode

cargo run --example basic_dynamic_character --release

and then press space/jump multiple times.

What I expected to happen:
the capsule/character should jump every time I press space, as long as it touches the ground when pressing.

What happened:
the jump happens only sometimes, seems random at first.

I think the problem is that the system responsible for keyboard input handling is running on the physics schedule and therefore .just_pressed() is not working as expected (keys are not just pressed anymore in most cases but only pressed).

All other buttons are working fine, as well as the grounded condition. Also: when changing the line to
if keyboard_input.pressed(KeyCode::Space) && !ground_hits.is_empty() {
the jumping works as intended.

Is it just me that I am not familiar enough with bevy_xpbd to know what I should do in such cases or should the example be "fixed"?

Yeah, I noticed the same behavior in my own game which I resolved by placing my jump code in an Update schedule. I think this is a bevy issue though and not a xpbd issue: bevyengine/bevy#6183

I think one workaround could be to separate out the input handling logic into an update schedule and have that just send events. You could then consume those events in the actual movement code similar to what's recommended here
