Maximum number of keys that can be shown as active

[Suhas K]

Not including modifiers, if you press and hold some keys, a non-consistent number of keys can be shown in green at the same time. I was able to do 3, 4, 5 and even 6. What is causing this?

Example of 5

Example of 4

Example of 3

Sometimes it gets capped out at 3, sometimes at 4, 5 and even 6. I haven't been able to do anything more than 6 though.

I sometimes require 5, but I don't seem to be able to get them all in green at the same time. It's not a dealbreaker, I'm just wondering what is going on behind the screen.

I’d have to do some digging to find the limit and why it is apparently fluid. But the prior question is why you want to have multiple keys down at the same time. I don’t think that a keyboard layout is capable of key-chording, and you would need an input method if that is what you want to do. Can you explain what you are trying to do?

Oh, I was just trying things out, mainly to see which key maps to which. I wasn't trying to have an input based on key sequences.

Are you looking for "key rollover"?
