No, that duplicate problem occurs even on normal keys, if I press 
"a" it shows "aa", and through the WinDBG, I saw the kbhit() was 
always true 2x after a key is pressed.
And I think the kbhit() (Like in many other libraries) would only 
return true, when a key is pressed.
I even tried to delay using sleep() after a keystroke, but it 
still duplicates after I press any key.
