Bug Description

The cue button on the keyboard doesn't work like it should. If you hold it you get an almost-stutter because it is receiving keyboard repeats which each trigger the button which make it jump back. The root of the problem is that mixxx is reading keyboard -events- instead of polling the keyboard directly.

Albert fixed this in http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mixxxdevelopers/mixxx/release-1.8.x/revision/2458 (this was bugging me too).

Polling would actually have made this a more difficult fix (speaking from doing input polling in video games, yuck), luckily Qt has a pretty flexible event subsystem.
