One workaround (that I'm using in practice since long) is to hold back the keyup message for slightly longer than the repeat time, and only let it through when keydown didn't come again in the meantime. The method introduces latency on keyup but not on keydown. See attached patch, it is slightly too complicated for ASCII illustration.

Hi list,
chiming in to the discussion of possible improvements regarding mice and now also keyboards, I am wondering if there could be a way within Pd to get keyboard events without having the operating systems (all three of them) repeat key down/up events in rapid succession.
I know that I can tell the operating systems to disable it but would absolutely prefer Pd's keyboard objects to get these without repeats.
Happy to hear any feedback on that! P
