i don’t know if this is available with the stock keyboard bios but if you upgrade it to [Custom PicoCalc BIOS/keyboard firmware](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/custom-picocalc-bios-keyboard-firmware/17292), you can reboot by holding shift and tapping the power button (although, to return to the UF2 bootloader i have to power cycle since i need to hold F1 from a cold boot for that to come up instead of the last firmware flashed)

i also recommend you replace the stock bootloader with [UF2 Loader release](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/uf2-loader-release/18479) as this will allow you to use standard UF2 images rather than BIN files that need to be specially compiled
