Returns [code]true[/code] if this input event is an echo event (only for events of type [InputEventKey]). An echo event is a repeated key event sent when the user is holding down the key. Any other event type returns [code]false[/code].
[b]Note:[/b] The rate at which echo events are sent is typically around 20 events per second (after holding down the key for roughly half a second). However, the key repeat delay/speed can be changed by the user or disabled entirely in the operating system settings. To ensure your project works correctly on all configurations, do not assume the user has a specific key repeat configuration in your project's behavior.
