yes, just one event up and down e.g.

up:
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0x1fd, subw 0x0, time 2027339429, (72,53), root:(939,408),
    state 0x0, keycode 45 (keysym 0x6c, l), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (6c) "l"
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (6c) "l"
    XFilterEvent returns: False

down:
KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0x1fd, subw 0x0, time 2027339613, (72,53), root:(939,408),
    state 0x0, keycode 45 (keysym 0x6c, l), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (6c) "l"
    XFilterEvent returns: False
