If you keep a keyboard key pressed, you want multiple events, not one right ?
I think it's important not to loose informations. If someone keep this
key pressed more than 1.5 second, I think it's good idea to send
multiple KEY_PROG2.

About KEY_HOME press / release, and filtering KEY_HOME after
KEY_PROG2, I'm not sure. So if you really want it, and nobody
complains, I'll be happy to accept your patch.

Ho .. right, that's what mean KEY_HOME :/. So no, I don't want that...
What about:
- KEY_CYCLEWINDOWS
- KEY_COMPUTER
- KEY_HOMEPAGE
- KEY_DASHBOARD

I think KEY_HOMEPAGE is the best choice.
