Weird problem with keyPressed() and holding down keys
I have a student who has a macbook 2015 running the latest osx version.
When he uses the keyPressed() function it works fine until he tries holding down the key for more than 5 seconds or so. Then keypressed function is blocking the rest of the processing app? It's really weird, like the keyboard is going into an escape sequence to write a special character?
Has anyone experienced this before?
