Peter Hutterer 4c82cbd4d0 tools/replay: do not replay key repeat events
The kernel emulates key events on its own anyway, replaying key events with
libinput replay as well just duplicates the events. Turning kernel
repeat off is not an option, it  makes the device look different (EV_REP
changes). So let's just not replay those events.

libinput\-replay \- replay kernel events from a recording
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B libinput replay [options] \fIrecording\fB
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fBlibinput replay\fR tool replays kernel events from a device recording
made by the \fBlibinput record(1)\fR tool. This tool needs to run as root to
create a device and/or replay events.
.PP
If the recording contains more than one device, all devices are replayed
simultaneously.

.SH NOTES
.PP
This tool replays events from a recording through the the kernel and is
independent of libinput. In other words, updating or otherwise changing
libinput will not alter the output from this tool. libinput itself does not
need to be in use to replay events.
.PP
This tool does not replay kernel-emulated key repeat events (events of type
\fIEV_KEY\fR with a value of 2).
