Feature Request: Expose KeyUp events #186

Hello @magiblot ,

I'd like to request support for key release events (KeyUp).

Currently, only evKeyDown is available. However, KeyUp events are essential for creating certain UI features, such as showing temporary hotkey hints only while a modifier key (like Alt or Ctrl) is being held down.

The Kitty keyboard protocol, which is already supported, is capable of reporting key releases. Far2l terminal extensions and win32 input mode support releases also. It would be a great enhancement if these events were exposed in the Turbo Vision event loop, for example via a new evKeyUp constant.

This would allow for more dynamic and responsive TUI applications.
Thank you for your consideration.
