Interception of repeted keys fails

[cloidnerux]

Holding a key down or repeatedly pressing the same key does not get issued by interception. With the following start of the while loop:

raise_process_priority();

context = interception_create_context();

interception_set_filter(context, interception_is_keyboard, INTERCEPTION_FILTER_KEY_ALL);
while(interception_receive(context, device = interception_wait(context), &stroke, 1) > 0)
{
    [...]//processing

The processing is intended to block certain keys, which works fine, as long as one does not hold the key down such that key repetition kicks in or pressing the key quit faste multiple times.

I'll have to check it but I suspect the repetition behavior does not result in multiple key-down event, if you press a key down and don't release, it's just one key-down event that's really happening, you can configure the operating system regarding how it should behave in this situation, and the repetition will come from OS, not the device, so interception is not responsible for the repetition, conversely if you send a single key down event through interception, repetition will also happen not because it's sending multiple key down events, but because the OS just received a key down without a key up following.

I'll close this for now and reopen in case my description is mistaken.
