Ok, I'm not sure I understand you on this one. What you are talking about (killing apps) is not affected by my patch. If you mean that we should filter repeats globally in dwm, not just in this case, then I don't think it should be done. That feels like abstracting and re-interfacing the OS, which does not belong in dwm. The default behavior in X is key repeats, so users should expect repeats when they hold keys. Period.
What should we do for programs which need controls which don't repeat? Make a new kind of input device which looks just like a keyboard but which isn't because keyboard keys repeat, by definition?
I don't want to labour the point, I'm just saying "This is X, stop trying to treat it like it's sane." Still, for dwm itself my point isn't a very strong one.
