"echo" is an uncommon term and the action is most commonly referred to as a "repeated" key press. This also improves the documentation related to echo behavior.

|
An input event for keys on a keyboard. Supports key presses, key releases and [member echo] events. It can also be received in [method Node._unhandled_key_input].
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] Events received from the keyboard usually have all properties set. Event mappings should have only one of the [member keycode], [member physical_keycode] or [member unicode] set.
|
|
When events are compared, properties are checked in the following priority - [member keycode], [member physical_keycode] and [member unicode]. Events with the first matching value will be considered equal.

<member name="echo" type="bool" setter="set_echo" getter="is_echo" default="false" keywords="repeat">
|
|
If [code]true[/code], the key was already pressed before this event. An echo event is a repeated key event sent when the user is holding down the key.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] The rate at which echo events are sent is typically around 20 events per second (after holding down the key for roughly half a second). However, the key repeat delay/speed can be changed by the user or disabled entirely in the operating system settings. To ensure your project works correctly on all configurations, do not assume the user has a specific key repeat configuration in your project's behavior.

<member name="key_label" type="int" setter="set_key_label" getter="get_key_label" enum="Key" default="0">
|

Represents the localized label printed on the key in the current keyboard layout, which corresponds to one of the [enum Key] constants or any valid Unicode character.
|
|
For keyboard layouts with a single label on the key, it is equivalent to [member keycode].
|
|
To get a human-readable representation of the [InputEventKey], use [code]OS.get_keycode_string(event.key_label)[/code] where [code]event[/code] is the [InputEventKey].
