Hi Johannes,

Whenever you press and then release a key, the CPU wakes up

The autorepeat timer has nothing to do, obviously, since you already
have released the key, so stop it on key release.

This introduces a slight change in behaviour (the key that is released
may not be one that is being autorepeated) but I think it still makes
sense to do it.
