I'm sending keyboard events to an app which sometimes ignores a key
or two if it is slow to process a previous keystroke or is busy with
some other task.
I want to know if the process is busy with a task (pulling events
from event loop?) before sending the next key event.
I would still have a polling issue to work around of course but even
slow polling would be better than the situation I have at the moment.

It isn't clear what problem he is trying to solve. Why does "idle"
matter? What does "idle" mean to the problem he is trying to solve?
etc.
