If you hold down a key, you get a stream of key press and character events for the same key. Should it? I'd prefer to have character repetition handled within the image so that arcade games could be implemented.
It's difficult to properly map this to the (dynamic) auto key repeat frequency. So I think it should do it, yes.
Indeed. The convention we agreed upon for auto-repeat is that you get a key-down event when you press the key, and then more key-down events for the repeats the system generates, followed by a single key-up when the key is physically released.
I'm not sure each VM follows this convention yet.
