Precisely why one codes

		event = qread(&val)
		...

		if (!val)  (button went up)

>I would actually like to get only one entry everytime the key is depressed.

and one entry when it is released.

0, 1, or more than 2 entries?  :-)

I've seen no routine which only queues the keyboard keys in only direction.
I simply choose to ignore the event.
