press_key not repeating keys

[Fuzzyma]

I dont know if this is an issue with this awesome library or with my os (windows btw).
When I do a press_key in python, I assumed, that this key gets repeated until I release it (like when you press a char on your keyboard and your texteditor goes aaaaaaaaaaaaaa).
However: Its not like that. The key gets pressed once and never again.
Any ideas?

I'm not sure of the top of my head what the expected behaviour is: At what level in the stack keys get repeated.

I'm also not sure why you'd want to do aaaaaaaaaaaa. If you want to create a specific number of a's, there is tap_key, which takes it as an argument. If you want to control a game, it'll probably work as-is, unless the game is using directinput as discussed in #2.

All in all, I want to simulate a keyboard when I use PyKeyboard. And when you hold down a key on a keyboard (which is a keypress) the charackter gets repeated. I know about the repeat parameter but its not useful in my case. I dont want a certain number of repeats but repeating until the key is released.
I am curious where this key repeating logic is actually located. It looks like the os doesnt do it on their own...

I'm now in the same situation as #1. As I'm running some scripts on other apps, for example, a driving game, I want to simulate that the 'Up' key is pressed, while PyKeyboard 'press_key' only makes it look like tapping the key...
