I might be mistaking what you're saying but, on OSX if key repeats are off in 
the system preferences (at least when pd starts) then they will not repeat from 
the [key] & [keyname] objects

Dear Dan and everyone contributing to this issue,

I kinda felt this is a sensitive topic but was not aware of the amount
of frustrating work that has already gone into it. Every bit of it is
much appreciated, thank you and everyone a lot!

So if I would want to write a patch that uses the [key] and [keyup] objects to
work consistently on all three platforms, I would have to tell the user to
turn key repeat off in her operating system AND provide a means to
filter out repeating key ons (Win and OS X), correct?

In this case I happily deal with the current status.

thanks again,
Peter
