L1KVM pdf manual / Command List?

I own the Level1Tech “1.4 Display Port KVM Switch - Single Monitor - Four Computer” and so far it has mostly been pretty good. I recently discovered one issue, which is when it is plugged into a USB controller that is PCIe passthrough’d to a VM with EFI enabled, the VM wont boot. So I always have to ensure I unplug it before starting the virtual machine on ESXi.

I wanted to troubleshoot it and I know there are a bunch of keyboard commands the KVM listens for. This had me thinking… Is there an exhaustive list of keyboard commands for the KVM documented somewhere? Is there a pdf manual for the KVM? I tried searching on Google and the store site and came up with nothing.

Also scroll lock can be a hotkey and scroll scroll l_ctrl disables Ctrl as a hotkey for gaming

Any chance of a hotkey that simply switches to the next port. Something like ctrl ctrl right arrow for instance?

I’d love a feature where you can ctrl ctrl arrow for next port too!
