Hi

Finally, please consider keeping the typed events to ease the integration with other input APIs. Removing it would drive harder the port and the interoperability with several APIs generating such events including AWT and JInput. Despite our efforts, key pressed and key released events might preserve a very few platform-specific behaviours (which is more obvious for popup triggers in mouse events). Some developers are only interested in key typed events, for example when implementing a chat. The auto-repeat flag is nice but we should not be forced to use it to get true key typed events.
