I have a USB keyboard attached to my laptop, for ergonomics reasons. I've been finding that when I switch apps, or pause typing for a few seconds, the first keypress I make after that is lost. I'm guessing there's some sort of process that puts the USB connection to sleep and wakes when there's activity, that effectively drops that first keypress.

Is there a setting I can change so that no keypresses are lost?

I've done a few web searches, and I found a few references to fixes on Windows, but that doesn't help much, as I'm using Debian Linux.
