Re: A86: keyboard input problem/question [reposted]
that sounds like you need to debounce it. i'm not exactly sure how to
fix this, but try putting in a small delay after you check the key. i
think what you want is to wait for the key to be down for a certain
amount of time before it counts as being down and the same for when it's
released. that way, if it's down for less than that, ignore it.
