Release key keyboard event in GLUT?

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

Is there a way in glut 3.7
to listen to key release events?
If so, where is the documentation and
how can I disable key autorepeat?

Thanks

Yes there is!
These are the four functions that maybe of interest to you.

int glutSetKeyRepeat(int repeatMode);
int glutIgnoreKeyRepeat(int repeatMode);
void glutKeyboardUpFunc(void (*func)(unsigned char key,int x,int y));
void glutSpecialUpFunc(void (*func)(int key,int x, int y));

My glut tutorial has a section that deals with this,

Source code is also provided.
