Has anyone else noted that in vi (either in a plain Cygwin window or in
an rxvt window, in an X session or not, also in xterm), that if you hold
down the CTRL key and press keys at intervals (like F to page down
through a file), and wait four seconds before another key press it's as
if you don't have CTRL pressed at all?  You have to release it and press
afresh.

The same applies to "more": hold CTRL down and press f, and it beeps at
you to indicate that's invalid; still hold CTRL down, wait 4 seconds,
then press f again, and it pages forward.

This behaviour has been present for years, BTW, it's not new.
