Youre right.
If I remember, its KDE wich fires these KeyPressed/KeyReleased event for autorepeat.
You can use something like this to know how long a key has been hold down :
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
| protected long leftKeyTimer = 0;
protected long leftKeyFinalTimer = 0;
if (leftKeyTimer == 0) {
leftKeyTimer = System.currentTimeMillis();
}
leftKeyFinalTimer += (System.currentTimeMillis() - leftKeyTimer);
leftKeyTimer = 0;
if (leftKeyTimer != 0) {
leftKeyFinalTimer += (System.currentTimeMillis() - leftKeyTimer);
leftKeyTimer = System.currentTimeMillis();
}
long leftTime = leftKeyFinalTimer;
leftKeyFinalTimer =0;

The thing is you cant rely on key release event to know when a key has been really released. If it has not been really released, a keyPress event is fired right after the KeyRelease one.
So you might also try to wait sonething like 10ms (you should check how really close in time these 2 events are fired) when you receive a keyRelease event before processing it and cancel it if a keyPress event is received during this time.
