The code for KeyInput.java ahould be:

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
if ((InputEvent.AUTOREPEAT_MASK & e.getModifiers()) == 0) {
keys[ke.getKeyCode()] = true;
}
}

public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
if ((InputEvent.AUTOREPEAT_MASK & e.getModifiers()) == 0) {
keys[ke.getKeyCode()] = false;
}
}

Otherwise you can get automatic calls to key release when you didn't actually release the key.
Not sure why he didn't have this problem. Must be a Mac thing because I'm on Windows.

When I hold down a key, the image moves for about a second, and then stops. For it to move again I have to release and press the key again

Changing this in the keyInput class will fix the problem mentioned @asdfghjkl

@Override
public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
if(e.isAutoRepeat()) {
return;
}
keys[e.getKeyCode()] = false;
}

dont forget to add "window.addKeyListener(new KeyInput());" to init() in Renderer
