Arrow keys send multiple commands to the robot (due to key repeat)

Description

Using the arrow keys to control the robot (or camera) sends multiple duplicate commands to be sent to the robot when the key is held down (due to key repeat). This behavior differs from mouse input which only sends one command per mousedown.

The interface should ignore key repeats so duplicate commands aren't sent.

Stupid Linux sends key pressed and key released commands repeatedly when holding a key down, so the current solution of tracking the last action doesn't work. [sigh].

Maybe try the technique mentioned at the bottom of this page:
