Enable key repeat for non text keys

[mkrueger]

I'm currently developing a terminal application using egui. I use a fragment shader to display the content and use it inside a ViewPort scroll area:

           let output = ScrollArea::vertical()
           .auto_shrink([false; 2])
           .stick_to_bottom(true)
           .show_viewport(ui, |ui, viewport| { …

            let events = ui.input().events.clone();
            for e in &events { …
            }

I need to handle the key events myself and it works quite well - however key repeats for the command keys Arrow/Backspace are not working - only the Text event does. I can't figure out how to detect key repeats the egui::Event::Key { key, pressed: true, modifiers } event is only once in the list.

Another issue is - can I disable the scroll drag in the ScrollArea somehow? It's interfering with my mouse selection in the control.

Starting in #2334 (recently), key repeates are ignored. Perhaps this was a bad idea.

See #2163

It's not a bad idea per se having events for key press and release without repeat does make sense.
But I would vote for maybe a KeyReceived event for the key repeats.

The agree that the frame based event system is a bit tricky. But I really, really need key repeats here :/ (however now I know where to patch that - thanks.)

ps. I really like the Composition events - I started my application with iced and they're completely missing dead key and IME scenarios - but the deal breaker is that egui allows me to use opengl controls thanks for that.

@emilk: Something like that would work #2389
