In the docs page for keyboard input in GML, there is an example code snippet for ord():

if keyboard_check(ord('A'))
{
hspeed = -5;
}
However, this is not correct, as A should be in double quotes, not single quotes.

@CaptainTechnicality: Documentation errors and all sorts of bugs should be reported via the bug report form at Help -> Report A Bug in the GameMaker IDE. But since it would be a quick fix, I'll tag the person who writes the manual here (@Nocturne) just in case he doesn't notice it by himself. Thanks for pointing it out!

@Kenjiro: Unless it's a very recent change (which was very unlikely to happen in the first place), single quotes can no longer be used in GMS 2. The ability to use them has been removed to promote more common syntax among users.
