[ILUG] OT KVM switch problem

This is totally off the wall (OK - one of the attached computers runs  
Linux, so not totally) but anyway, it may provide some light relief  
from the current thread from hell.

I have a Digitus OC12U KVM switch. It's a little thing - two machines  
to one KVM. It has no selection switches, hot keys taking their  
place. If I hadn't mislaid the manual, I'm sure I'd be now getting  
great use from it :-(

A suggestion was made on #linux that a double tap of scrolllock might  
help and sure enough, that puts it into scanning mode, with the  
output from the two boxes appearing alternately on the monitor. But  
I've been unable to sumble across the key which stops scanning and  
selects the currently displayed machine. If anyone happens by some  
happy chance to have such a device, could you drop me a line (off  
list would probably be better) with the magic keys?
