Over the last few months, I’ve noticed ways that my M01 behaves when I hold down certain keys, and it does not always conform to my expectations. For reference, I am using Mac OS, and I have updated my M01 firmware. When I use the Function layer to volume up/down, unlike on an Apple keyboard, I can’t hold the key down to move the volume multiple tics. Thankfully, my arrow keys behave the way that I would expect most of the time, but I’ve also experienced some weird behavior when my arrow keys don’t seem to respond to being held (e.g., in a word processor the “Right arrow” should move the cursor more than one letter when it is held). When this starts happening, I unplug my keyboard and plug it back in, and the unexpected behavior goes away.
Three questions:
- What controls the behavior of held keys? Is the OS interpreting this, or the keyboard?
- Is there any way to change this for special keys like the volume? It’s not a huge annoyance, but it takes a lot of key presses to go up and down.
- Any idea why my arrow keys occasionally do the wrong thing? This has maybe happened 3-4 times in several months, so this is not something that has caused a great deal of angst. What I have tried is instead of plugging into a USB port on my external monitor, I’ve been plugging directly into my laptop. I haven’t had this happen since, but I don’t know if it is related.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
