What exactly does "New state" for Active Inputs do?

CDSK

So I know this is going to come down to me trying to over-complicate things. I can't seem to find information for the New state setting in the manual.

When using Toggle active, what is the affect of the New state checkbox? What is the purpose of Toggle active if that is not checked?

I'm currently struggling to get Escape to function as a pause and/or exit (from an inventory and journal menu, so three menus total) using various Active inputs. I've got it semi-working, but I can never tell which input is indeed active until it doesn't work. The way I've debugged it so far makes me believe I'm just not understanding the function correctly.

Thanks!

Perhaps the use of the word "Toggle" in the Action's name is misleading - because its enabled state is set by the New state field, as opposed to automatically being inverted.

To make an Active Input enabled, check this box.
