Fix PTT rapid-fire: track key state as booleans, ignore repeats

Browse Source 
Super key generates rapid press/release events from key repeat.
Changed from set-based tracking to boolean flags (ctrl_held,
super_held) so repeated press events are ignored when the key
is already held. Removed min-hold cancel logic.
