The docstring example is written using onkey instead of onkeyrelease.

onkey and onkeyrelease are the same function, so you still get exactly the same behavior with the example in the docstring. This also makes it hard to have different docstrings for them.

Closing as wontfix.

Sorry for the misdirection:

The docstring example for onkeypress is written using onkey instead of onkeypress. (There is no problem for onkey and onkeyrelease.)

There are actually many problems with docstrings of both onkey() and onkeypress().

Both:

- "Turtle instance named turtle" isn't used in the example

- The repl/doctest syntax is weird

onkeypress only:

- "key-press event" vs. "key-press-event"

- The example uses onkey() instead of onkeypress()

- The bottom comment says that the example draws a hexagon, but it actually draws a straight line.

The problems with onkey() are also there in 2.7. onkeypress() is new in 3.x.
