Can't you just insert the plug to the first click so that the tip on the
plug contacts the ring on the jack?

The K3 has a separate 1/4" mono jack for external keys but I agree, when the KX3's
external (Key1) jack is set to HAND it would be nice to be able to use keys with a mono
plug. I built an adapter cable with an eighth inch stereo right angle plug on one end
and a 1/4" inline mono jack on the other end so I could plug in the same bug that I
usually have plugged into the K3's external key jack.
As it is now if you don't use a stereo plug, the rig keys as soon as you plug in the
1/8" mono plug.

At the same time, I'd like to have a selection of "nothing" on at least the
ring input of the key jack. (Actually my request is for the KX3, but I
assume they work the same way.)
With "Nothing" selected on the ring and "KEY" selected on the tip, the key
input would be compatible with mono 1/8" plugs.

I have a really dumb question:
For those that want a "bug mode" on the K3, why is it not possible to wire
a set of paddles (or even a single lever keyer) with the dot going to the
paddles input and the dash going to the straight key input?
