I've had this problem before with [hid], apparently it's a hardware

You can deal with the problem in pure data by using a trigger, float and
delay of one millisecond. See the attached patch, click the message
boxes and watch your terminal for the result.
[change] seems to be the more appropriate solution here...

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem I have with these two
solutions is that they only work when the double triggers are in
sequence. Sometime they arrive like this:
[hid] 0.7, written by Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans@eds.org>
compiled on Apr 15 2012 at 08:12:47
[hid] opened device 4 (/dev/input/event4): AT Translated Set 2
keyboard
print: key key_j 1
print: key key_l 1
print: key key_j 1
print: key key_l 1
print: key key_j 0
print: key key_j 0
print: key key_l 0
print: key key_l 0
So I would need to store the value of each key individually and
check each one with [change].
Instead of this long-winded method, I've downloaded [linuxevent]
which is working nicely so I think I'll stick with this even though
it may be deprecated?
Surely this is a bug with [hid] though?
