I'm not sure of a way around the sticky keys problem, but I would suggest you
only do a 'show face' if X or Y have been altered. Currently it's happening
with any event, which could be slowing things down. ie, something like this...
moved: false
if event/type = 'key [
switch event/key [
left [ x: x - 2 moved: true]
right [ x: x + 2 moved: true]
up [ y: y - 2 moved: true]
down [ y: y + 2 moved: true]
#"q" [ quit]
]
]
face/effect: make-draw blk x y
if moved [show face]

With the mouse it's quite easy, but keys are either down/up or
down/slight-wait/repeat-until-up... It just depends what kind of control you
need. If you don't want the repeating keys effect, you'd need to include a
check for the key not being pressed after you've first detected it's been
pressed.
