He's not wanting to constantly go into the BC640's menu to turn key repeating 
on (for offline) and off (for online).

But it sends repeated press/release event pairs. The routing keys don't repeat, 
but the navigation keys do. Key combinations involving a routing key plus a 
navigation key, therefore, are problematic.
