Hi.  
I´m looking for a way to code keyboard movement that is smooth. I mean, constant from the moment the key gets pressed to the moment it gets released. What I have now works like typing: u press the key, u get one glyph, then if u dont release after half a second or so u start typing lots of glyphs.  
It will not do for caracter animation, and that is what i need to code.

Any ideas?
