Should I use _physics_process() or _process() ?

You should probably use _input() for most things, like single button presses, but when checking if a key is pressed (for example wasd keys), you should do it right before you do the actions for whatever they keys do, which will depend on your code

To receive input at the time it happens (button down, key pressed, mouse moved), use _input, or _unhandled_input if you have GUI nodes in your game.
To poll input anytime or every frame, use the Input singleton. This one is most of the time used in _physics_process if your game has physics, which runs every physics frame (solid 60 fps), otherwise _process if you want it to run every graphic frame (but will mostly be 60fps too but framerate-dependent so use delta).
