[PD] get keyboard events without repeats (in 2019)

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

If you use pd-l2ork v.1 (pre-Purr-Data) it also offers an optional 
argument for key and keyname objects (arg 1, e.g. [key 1]) that allows 
for filtering of repeat events. Doing so is fairly tricky given the 
tcl/tk + networked gui communication implementation, particularly on 
Linux, but it does work. Porting it should not be too difficult.

Best,

Ico
