That would be good. I've seen that there is code that tries to convert
repeated events as you might get from keeping a button pushed into a
single event. Maybe something is fishy with that. Have a look at
src/input/sdl/manager_sdl.cc, starting from line 561. Should be simple
to debug with a gamepad around to trigger the events as needed.

Great. Would have been awkward if configuring a gamepad would disable
keyboard controls.
