As you type, pressing and releasing each key will always produce a pair of events - one for pressing the key (keydown) and the other for releasing the key (keyup). This is how it's possible for applications to know that you are holding down a key, or that you are holding down multiple keys at once (as you did when typing the capital "A", or while typing the "no" in "Another"). - Mike
