Hey And Happy New Year!

I'm doing little 2D game with PyQt5. This game can be played in 2-4 player group at the same time and on the same keyboard. Every player has own four keys for moving UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT.

Here are the questions:

Is it possible to handle many same time pressed keys in PyQt5? e.g. I'm having two players with their own keys. I want to press UP and RIGHT buttons on both players at the same time. Both players should move to north-east at the same time.

Is it possible to remove the time gap between very first key press and AutoRepeat? I want it to repeat the key event from very beginning of the key press without any little stops (That stop takes about 200ms but it's very notable stop in the game where players should move smoothly).
