MacOS Startup Options

[MarcioCantante]

Hi!

Before I go further, thank you for making this gadget! TinyPilot is extremely helpful!

I was wondering if you've used the tool for MacOS startup key combinations, like Command (⌘)-R and Option (⌥) to start up in recovery mode or opening startup manager. I've added a couple Meta combination keys but it doesn't seem to work during startup.

Oh, I've never heard of users running into this. I unfortunately don't have a Mac on hand to test. Can you share your debug logs?

Sure! Here's the logs: https://logs.tinypilotkvm.com/wz1kFgEt.

Found a fix for the video loss using uhubctl.
Cutting the power then turning the ports on again seems to fix it.

Thanks for sharing the logs!

I'm afraid that it might be incompatible with MacOS startup keys. It looks like TinyPilot is recognizing the keys but the Mac is rejecting them.

Oh, that's a good tip! Thanks for passing this along.
