The each keypress generates multiple events (when the num lock is on). A KEY_PRESSED event and a KEY_TYPED event. I've only handled keyboard input in compose on Android previously. it seems quite different on desktop.

Sorry, I meant to say that I'm returning true from the

Modifier.onPreviewKeyEvent

for the

KEY_PRESSED

event. I'd like to return true from the

KEY_TYPED

event, but there's no clear way to do this. I could maybe remember the keyChar from the

KEY_PRESSED

event, and ignore the next

KEY_TYPED

event if it matches. It really seems like I'm missing something in the API here.
