We can optimize this further:

unsatisfied = true
while(unsatisfied) {
    key.dispatch(
        Keyboard::Ctrl,
        Keyboard::s
    )
}

..No, there is no instance where unsatisfied changes state

You should just be able to while(true)

That sounds like an excuse.

Don't worry, most modern brains have a builtin jit compiler, so when a habit starts to form, the check will be optimised out. (It saves excess neurons from being generated.)
