> I am wondering why a narrow filter can cause key clicks?

One cause is related to the placement of the CW frequency in relation to the 
filter passband.  If skewed to the edge of a sharp filter, a severely 
distorted waveform will develop.  A CW waveform is a quasi square wave and 
replication accuracy is dependent on a linear-phase response.
