I don't recall any application that handles simultaneous keystrokes.
Multiple keystrokes are handled at the library level, but only with regard
to the "modifier" keys (shift, control, alt), so the application sees
Control-P as a *single* synthesized event instead of four.
I'm afraid you'll have to roll your own logic, as your use case isn't very
common. Perhaps treat "4" followed by "8" in quick succession the same as
a fictional event "48" equivalent to "7".
