neither

rawKeyStillDown

nor

keyStillDown

exist (as yet)

however I wish they did . . .

I know that one can poll the mouse . . .

Can one poll the keyboard ?

-------------------------------------------------------

Why?

Because I am reverting to my dreams of playing daft games on my BBC Micro in
the late 1980's, and remember that the BBC had no mouse; so objects in 
the side-scrolling
games of the time were controlled by keyDowns alone; and a keyDown did 
something
once, and a key-held-down-for-quite-some-time did the same thing 
repeatedly, instead
of forcing me to get repetitive finger wonkiness by going 
tap-tap-tappitty-tap
ad nauseam.
