I think the case you are referring to is when keys are released - please
correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct, after the timer has been initialised (meaning that
_all_ the keys have been pressed) only a single key need to be held down
to carry out the reset order.

The current keyreset driver works exactly the same way - I just tried it
on my board.

Get back to me if you want to see this corrected.

Thanks,
Mathieu.
