That’s really nice of him to put together such a concise, well-described list of issues for them. Hopefully someone sees this and adds it to their issue tracker. It’s very rare to see anyone internal grab something from outside like that though.
I love their write ups, I know whenever I see their posts on here to cozy up with a coffee because it's about to get fun.

Button presses are often handled by state machines at a driver level so that a single “press” only registers as a single press. Otherwise, it will register as a lot of presses because the physical switches bounce on contact. They call this debouncing. Probably, a drivers state machine did not transition out

You can get into a similar state on MacOS by pressing a key multiple times in a row (option I think). It just quietly disables a large number of keys. I figured it out by accident one day because I assigned the key as my "push to talk" on Discord. That was a fun hour trying to figure out what had happened.
On MacOS if you remap your capslock to control there is a race condition on the login screen. If you use the control/capslock key to wake up your laptop and manage to time it right, you can enable capslock but not have a way to disable it (unless you remapped another key to capslock (why?)).
When this was happening to me it turned out to be bad interaction with '@' followed by a punctuation mark. I can reproduce it at will right now. Something to do with name auto-completion, but once I knew how to avoid it I stopped debugging their code for free.
These hotkeys in websites are an utter curse. So many times I've started typing in Jira, then something weird happened that caused my keystrokes to be interpreted by the page instead of entered into a comment box ... then the ticket gets reopened, unassigned, etc.
This is why desktop apps use the Ctrl key for shortcuts. I'm not sure how that bit of common sense got lost in the transition to webapps.

No, it's a common way that non-binary people choose to be referred to that avoids gendered language. Although foone borg collective would be amazing.
Should be a different non-plural word, straight up confusing seeing it in writing.
