Note that last line - this is about compressing characters into ::text().
I don't think this helps at all, for the case of keeping the "arrow down"
key pressed for a while. Nothing to compress there (in terms of putting
QChars into a QString).

IMHO the best way is to simply listen to keyRelease events - you want
the preview to update when releasing the key_down key, no?
