Can anyone help me understand how to enable/use the KVM hotkey functionality on the HP E45c G5 monitor? In split screen mode with 2 computers, hitting "Ctrl" twice is supposed to switch peripheral (mouse and keyboard) controls between computers, but I haven't been able to get this to work (or using any method for that matter). Thanks!

I'm currently testing this monitor, and I tested KVM today.
2 things i've noticed.
1: Plug your keyboard into the Keyboard specific USB-A port on the back, only that one has the enabled shortcut.
2: If Left Ctrl x2 doesn't work, try Left Shift x2.
Not sure what triggers the need to use shift instead, but knowing that shift works in those instances is good enough for me.
Don't think keyboard model makes a difference, but for reference, I'm using a Keychron Q6 (USB wired)
