Hello,
I am running Monterey 12.0.1 on my 2018 Intel iMac using a Logitech K780 
bluetooth keyboard with VO set up to speak during iMac boot to enter my login 
password. After a reboot the key to the left of the space bar acts like the 
command key and the key to the left of that acts like the Option key which is 
what I want. However if I then leave the iMac and keyboard switched on for a 
while and allow the iMac login to time out and then login again the prior 
option key acts like Command and the prior command key acts like Option. I have 
looked at Keyboard and Modifier keys in System Preferences and see that the 
keyboard is set to “bluetooth USB host controller” both after re-boot and after 
login after timeout. For this keyboard the modifier keys are Option set to 
Option and Command set to Command. If I change the keyboard to “K780” the 
Option key is set to command and the command key is set to Option but this 
change makes no difference to how the keys behave.
So my questions are:
- Why does Monterey not recognise the keyboard as “K780”?
- If I change the modifier keys in System Preferences then when do these 
changes take effect? Do I have to reboot for them to take effect?
- Why does the keyboard behave differently after iMac timeout and re-login?
- How do I fix these problems which did not happen before upgrade to Monterey?0

Mean while I will revert to my Apple Magic Keyboard via bluetooth which works 
as expected with no difference between login after reboot and after iMac 
timeout.
Many thanks for any tips … Paul Hopewell
