Ctrl/Shift don't autorepeat

[Nikolay Sivov]

Hi, guys.

I've noticed some problems with keyboard input while testing my favorite 
Listview control code.
The problem is that Ctrl/Shift don't fire WM_KEYDOWNs properly: they 
don't trigger autorepeat.

Is it a known input processing problem?

P.S. Alt key is different cause it generates WM_SYSKEYDOWN which isn't 
supported by control yet.

Actually, no. I don't have unneeded keyups, the problem is that function 
keys don't autorepeat while letter keys
do it properly.

Are you using an USB keyboard? Can you experiment on a computer with PS/2 
keyboard?

I ask because USB HID doesn't provide autorepeat, that is emulated in kernel. 
Besides, modifier keys (there can be maximum 8 of them) are treated 
differently by HID keyboard spec.

I'm using PS/2 through vmware running Lenny.

Have you tested to see if those keys are auto-repeating under linux (i.e., try to run xev and see if they are repeating)? AFAIK they don't usually autorepeat in Linux, and Wine does not simulate autorepeating; if it's not autorepeating under Linux, it will not autorepeat in Wine.

You're right. There's no autorepeat running my system, so Wine is ok 
here. Thanks for your answer. No questions.
