    Only repeat one key · 3bc60893

    Summary:
    So far KWin tried to repeat all pressed keys which should repeat. But
    this is not how X11 and e.g. QtWayland handle it. There only one key -
    the last one which got pressed - repeats. And this makes sense as the
    key is used to generate a keysym and that one KWin caches. Thus the
    logic so far resulted in incorrect keysyms to be generated during the
    repeat. E.g. pressing a, pressing b, releasing b would repeat b instead
    of the hold a as b was the last generated keysym.
    
    This change addresses this problem and let's only one key repeat at a
    time. When the currently repeating key gets released the repeat timer is
    stopped and other hold keys won't repeat any more. This also matches the
    behavior of X11 and QtWayland.
