How do I cancel flipping?

hello,
I’m new and I currently set up my character to flip left and right by using “left” and “right” keys respectively.
currently, if I hold “left” and press “right” my character does not flip (which is exactly what I want).
but, while holding down “right”, if I press “left” my character flips.
how do I make it so that pressing two keys at once cancels flipping?

export (int) var speed = 480

var velocity = Vector2()

func get_input(): # movement and flip
	velocity = Vector2()
	if Input.is_action_pressed("right"):
		velocity.x += 1
		$Sprite.flip_h = true
	if Input.is_action_pressed("left"):
		velocity.x -= 1
		$Sprite.flip_h = false
	if Input.is_action_pressed("down"):
		velocity.y += 1
	if Input.is_action_pressed("up"):
		velocity.y -= 1
	velocity = velocity.normalized() * speed

You can check for left and right simultaneously which will cancel the movement and flipping

export (int) var speed = 480

var velocity = Vector2()

func get_input(): # movement and flip
    velocity = Vector2()
	if not (Input.is_action_pressed("right") and Input.is_action_pressed("left")):
	    if Input.is_action_pressed("right"):
	        velocity.x += 1
	        $Sprite.flip_h = true
	    if Input.is_action_pressed("left"):
	        velocity.x -= 1
	        $Sprite.flip_h = false

    if Input.is_action_pressed("down"):
        velocity.y += 1
    if Input.is_action_pressed("up"):
        velocity.y -= 1
    velocity = velocity.normalized() * speed
