work better? Grab all the keys at once into an array, then scan the
array for status...

	Off hand, the simplest scheme I could think of is, when you detect a
key press, you loop over it until you detect the key release -- only
then do you start scanning for other keys.

	IOWs, you should not be triggering on the state itself, but on the
change of state in both directions.
