// The key_repeater_t type represents a key repeater. This is similar to the
// "Rapid fire" feature on many game controllers. The intention behind this is
// to periodically send a key code while the user is pressing a key.
//
// The duration of the key press as well as the time between key presses is
// slightly randomized by design. This is to simulate more realistic human
// behavior. By setting the minimum and maximum duration fields to the same
// value in the configuration, this randomization can be disabled.
//
// This type is intentionally opaque to avoid the user setting internal fields
// directly. It must be allocated and destroyed using the kr_new() and
// kr_free() functions respectively.
