Alt+Tabbing Back Stops Replay

You said that the fix works, so I'm closing this.

Maybe SDLPoP should ignore the tab key for some time after its window gets focus?

I barely know the code, so this is just a shot in the dark, but can't it check whether event.type is SDL_KEYDOWN or something similar?

The code is already doing that: Keyboard commands are read from the last_key_scancode variable, which is set only in SDL_KEYDOWN events.
See here: https://github.com/NagyD/SDLPoP/blob/master/src/seg009.c#L2867
(You can add a debug printout there to see what happens.)

The operating system (or SDL) automatically sends repeated keydown events if a key is held down.
For example, if I Alt+Tab into a text editor, then holding Tab down will enter tabs until I release it.
A difference between operating systems is that on Windows, there is a noticeable delay before the first repeat; but on Linux, there is no such delay.
