Thanks!

I didn't originally see an easy way to accomplish this, since the 
documentation says that both a keyPressEvent and a keyReleaseEvent are 
sent on each auto-repeated press. But now after a quick test, it seems 
that isAutoRepeat() is false for the last keyReleaseEvent after a series 
of auto-repeated events, so based on this I can detect the physical 
press and release.

Cheers,
