Currently all key events use autorelease, but this forbids use as a modifier key. As all event codes come in even/odd pairs, we can lookup the key type (KE_KEY/KE_IGNORE) for the key up event corresponding to the currently handled key down event. If the key up is ignored, we keep setting the autorelease flag for the key down.
