That's simple if you do it in a hackish way, but maybe a bit different
to what you think. You'd extend the struct atkbd to contain a 1000 entry
array and in rolling index. Then stuff your current keypress into the
array and you're done.

You'd need to hack in the proc interface, though.

What do you actually want to do?
