Thanks Lucas, thanks Sebastian,

so the OS X behavior can be made the same as the windows one once the system preferences are set correctly... It seems there is no way of getting consistent behavior on all three OSes by default: On Windows I have to filter repeated key-ons. On OS X I have to change the global repeat preferences and filter out repeated key-ons. On Linux I have to disable key repeat via "xset r off" and am done.

It would be great it this could be unified further, the OS X bugfix is already a big step into the right direction. I suppose it would not be easy/impossible at all?

Shouldn't/couldn't the filtering of repeated note-ons be done within the objects on Win and OS X at least?

Thanks again, P

On MacOS the key repeat should be respecting the system preference now after switching to tcl/tk 8.6.12 (see discussion here: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1306)note that key ons are repeated without corresponding key offs, until the key is released (if key repeats are enabled in the system preferences)

Hi list,

I can't seem to get my head around different behavior of the [key] and [keyup] objects on different OSes and even within the same OS. I discovered that for depressed keys after an initial delay -Pd on Debian will report repeated key ups and downs, -Pd on Windows does not, -Pd on OS X may or may not. Could a few of us test this quickly and report their findings here maybe?

Thanks! Peter
