How do I detect the users input then stop detecting it?

I am creating a shop gui that will open and close when the players chosen key is pressed. I found out how to find the key, but not stop detecting the key after a key is pressed for the first time. Heres my code:

01but = script.Parent
02local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
03local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
04local mouse = player:GetMouse()
05local function inputDetecter()
06    repeat UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key, gp)
07        print(key.KeyCode)
08        but.KeyVal = tostring(key.KeyCode)
09    end)
10    until mouse.KeyDown
11end
12 
13 
14but.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
15    inputDetecter()
16end)

If you want to detect when the player releases a key then try

1UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(key, gp)
2    print(key.KeyCode.. " was released!")
3end)
