A "bug" or "semi-automatic" key is the most complex electro-mechanical key. It has the advantage over the cootie in that it assists the operator in sending well-formed streams of dits. As with the cootie, the bug can be pushed to the left or to the right.
How does a CW key work?
An operator uses the telegraph key to send electrical pulses (or in the case of modern CW, unmodulated radio waves) of two different lengths: short pulses, called dots or dits, and longer pulses, called dashes or dahs. These pulses encode the letters and other characters that spell out the message.
A semi-automatic key repeated the Morse code dots rapidly, much like holding down a key on a keyboard for repeated letters. The operator still keyed the dashes but could work much faster. The Mecograph Company created a right-angle semi-automatic telegraph key around 1906.
