OK, I know. But the problem is that I do not want this repetition! At the
moment I am handling it in the following way: if KEY_UP is immediately
followed by KEY_DOWN then I ignore it. It requires using
GrGetNextEventTimout and resetting the status of all keys if timeout is
received. I was just wondering it there is a cleaner solutiuon (X11 and
Linux console).
Thank you for so immediate answer :-)
