I am pretty sure it works in the Windows VM. You should get multiple
keyDown events but a single keyUp:
Down ... (pause) ... down - down - down - down - down - up.
That is, in the programming language a real key down and a repeat are
indistinguishable.
The problem is that from the X11 VM you get this:
Down ... (pause) ... up down - up down - up down - up down - up.
Now, the up and down events bear the same time stamp (they are
synthesized together) so the VM could actually filter out the
unwanted up events, but it does not (yet anyway). Also, you do not
get events for all keys like Shift etc. (IIRC only Windows gets that
right).
It's a shame to admit this is still not working ...
