Implement key repeat #16

It doesn't really fit your personal use case I suppose, but I'm using jslisten in a similar manner to joystick mappers as qjoypad and antimicro - i.e. I map a specific button press to an action.

Currently, I'm using this mapping mechanism to control my computer. However, holding down the button, contrary to basically any joystick mapper has tried, only sends the key once. Pretty annoying if you have to e.g. scroll.

Any way you could implement a check to see if buttons are held? (doesn't really seem to fit your initial password like service)

It always impress me how people are using this software and it's great to see any use case. From what I understand this enhancement would require additional options "repeat time"(in ms), "repeatable"(true/false) and be careful with the other current ongoing enhancement #11 Don't see any reason why not include this option. Will put it on a list.

It's pretty neat honestly! Thanks for taking the time to make this. I'm currently experimenting with the code a little myself. My c is not what it what once was, but maybe I will stumble upon a decent solution myself.

Feel free to create any pull requests. It doesn't need to be perfect, although it's always preferred :).
