KeyEvent (JOGL, NativeWindow and NEWT APIs)

java.lang.Object
- java.util.EventObject
- - com.jogamp.newt.event.NEWTEvent
  - - com.jogamp.newt.event.InputEvent
    - - com.jogamp.newt.event.KeyEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class KeyEvent
extends InputEvent
```
Key events are delivered in the following order:
In case the native platform does not deliver keyboard events in the above order or skip events, the NEWT driver will reorder and inject synthetic events if required.
Besides regular modifiers like InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK etc., the InputEvent.AUTOREPEAT_MASK bit is added if repetition is detected.

Auto-Repeat shall behave as follow:
```
    D = pressed, U = released, T = typed
    0 = normal, 1 = auto-repeat

    D(0), [ U(1), T(1), D(1), U(1) T(1) ..], U(0) T(0)
 
```
The idea is if you mask out auto-repeat in your event listener you just get one long pressed key D/U/T triple.

Modifiers keys will produce regular events (pressed, released and typed), however they will not produce Auto-Repeat events itself.
