You are the one that said, above, that you could—and I quote—"fix this."
"This", in that phrase, stands for the problem in the OP post title—"it being so hard to detect keyup event on Linux."
And "on Linux", in the OP post, is a shorthand for "in all the arbitrary applications that exist in the Linux userland, or that one might choose to write in the Linux userland." (You can tell that it has this meaning, because under the more literal meaning of "on Linux"—working within the Linux kernel itself—it is already quite easy to detect keyup events.)
Obviously, fixing the entire Linux userland is an unbounded amount of work. That is precisely why the other commenters above are saying that it cannot be done. Not "done" as in "worked upon", but "done" as in "finished."
