However, have you tried Jim Lambert's suggestion of using the keyUp

If you're right I'll be embarrassed. ;) Used to be on Macs you got repeated
keyups no matter what you did -- I remember having a terrible time with it,
which is why I didn't even go there for this question. But I just did a quick
test and it looks like it works as you'd expect now, which means your
suggestion would be the right one.
Not sure how Windows works now. It used to provide discrete keydown and keyup
messages as expected.
Not as embarrased as I would have been if I'd sent the message I wrote a few
hours ago, before reading Jim Lambert's! I'd written insisting that the only
solution was to switch to a 'stateful' (ie modifier) key - but read Jim's
message before mine had actually been sent, and after testing, discarded mine
with a thoughtful look...
