How do I prevent a Key being pressed down all the time?

[William de Smet]

Hello Eric and Andreas,

My problem is that the arrowkey is hold down and not being pressed
quickly several times.
So there is no keyup.
Or do I not get what you mean?

The flushEvents doesn't work either :-(

greetings,

William
