Keyboard Host - Unable to change input mode on boot using keyboard

Expected Behavior

Press and hold key mapped to an input mode while booting resulting in booting into that input mode.

Current Behavior

Press and hold key mapped to an input mode while booting does not result in booting into that input mode. Instead it remains in whatever input mode it was in or saved through web config.

Context

Firmware Version: 0.7.7
Board Config Name: GP2040-CE_0.7.7_KeyboardConverter.uf2
Device Name: Keyboard Converter
Purchase Link: https://github.com/OpenStickCommunity/Hardware/tree/main/Boards/Supported%20Boards/GP2040%20Keyboard%20Converter/Waveshare%20Zero-PCB

Steps to Reproduce

Because Keyboard Host add-on does not work at all with 0.7.8, this was done with 0.7.7 and I was unable to confirm whether the issue persists with 0.7.8 firmware

1. Flash GP2040-CE converter that has a USB Host port with firmware
2. Connect keyboard
3. Press and hold an input mode button
4. Plug in or reset the converter
5. Input mode remains unchanged

Start by reproducing the reported behavior with firmware 0.7.7 on the Keyboard Converter using a connected keyboard and a held input-mode key during reset or plug-in. Compare the result with firmware 0.7.8 if Keyboard Host becomes usable there. Done means the converter boots into the held input mode instead of retaining the configured mode.
