Window(onCloseRequest = ::exitApplication,         onKeyEvent = {
        if (it.key == Key.Escape && escEventAllowed){
            escEventAllowed = false
            println("ESC")
                            BackPressureHandler.execute()

            Thread {
                println("escHold")
                Thread.sleep(WAIT_FOR_ESC)
                println("escRelease")
                escEventAllowed = true
            }.start()
        }
        false
    })

I am using the onKeyEvent ability when I create my Window for the desktop main. It is registering escape multiple times instead of just once, and the thread is not helping, any ideas?

Any way to see what type of event I got?

it.type == KeyEventType.KeyDown

Thanks for the help, I believe its working 🙂
