Um, I could be only guessing what are you meant to do, unless you
describe your problem in more detailed way. I.e. describe the desired
behaviour, show code which you have, and describe the current
behaviour.

Hmmm. Maybe you'd like to hook into Tkinter event loop, i.e. by custom
events if you don't like periodical polling.

>From what I am guessing, you expect that 2 keyboard events are
simultaneous and can be cached at the same time instant. Well that
would be impossible, cause all the underlying hardware is sequential.
You may have parallel stuff if you go down to VHDL and write your own
hardware, but when you have a CPU, then you'll have to stick with
writing programs. C'mon, 20 lines is not such a big deal.
