I don't think you can do it directly, since a "repeat" keystroke is the same
as an "initial" keystroke. Maybe make the keystroke run a script that looks
something like:

#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -e /tmp/somefile ]; then
        run_command
        exit
fi
else
        oldtime=`cat /tmp/somefile`
        newtime=`date "+%s"`
        if $(expr $newtime - $oldtime '>' 1); then
                run_command
                date "+%s" > /tmp/somefile
        fi
fi

ie, just test whether the command has already been run recently, and if so,
do nothing. Not ideal (and I haven't tested, so it probably doesn't work),
but might be enough for what you want.

Philip
