would clear_keybuf() work.

From the manual:

Quote:

void set_keyboard_rate(int delay, int repeat);

Sets the keyboard repeat rate. Times are given in milliseconds. Passing zero times will disable the key repeat.

Example:

install_keyboard();
...
set_keyboard_rate(500, 0);

Works for me.

EDIT: Hmm, apparently not. I remember this used to work when I was on Windows. Now I'm on Linux and just tried a simple test with the above code and it doesn't work. Like set_keyboard_rate() is completely ignored.

My full test:

1#include <allegro.h>
2 
3int main() {
allegro_init();
set_color_depth(32);
set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED,640,480,0,0);
install_keyboard();
set_keyboard_rate(1500, 500);

int y = 0;
while (!key[KEY_ESC]) {
  while (keypressed()) {
    int c = readkey();
    textprintf_ex(screen, font, 0, y, -1, -1, scancode_to_name(c>>8));
    y += 8;
    if (y >= SCREEN_H) {
      clear_to_color(screen, 0);
      y = 0;
    }
  }
}

return 0;
24}
