Hi Jannis, Yes, yes. I should have thought of this. I am just going to put a Key_Down variable in scope of the key-pressed-event function and the key-released-event function, and set it accordingly. God, I am getting old.
Yet, you have got my interest with the XKeyboardControl control thing. I never knew it existed. Thanks.

Connect to the key-press-event signal, remember the last key and ignore follow-up press events for that particular key? (This requires to reset the remembered key whenever a different key is pressed.) If you want this behavior globally and not just in your application or widget, you can do something like XKeyboardControl control; control.auto_repeat_mode = 0; gdk_error_trap_push (); XChangeKeyboardControl (GDK_DISPLAY (), KBAutoRepeatMode, &control); gdk_error_trap_pop (); That will suppress repeated key press events entirely.
