AH, it's coming back to me!
Many years ago Simon added the code so that you could use the Kenwood CAT
code to key the radio.
I've also seen the serial port thing done, but that needs either a second
COM port or a special cable to be made up so that the keying to the CW jack
is in the same socket as the COM port connection.
Does the KX3 have the same commands for keying the CW circuits via the CAT
interface like some Kenwood radios do?

The KX3 can be keyed using the "KY" command, but I do not think HRD/DM780
implements that command - few applications do.
The easiest solution is to use the K1EL Winkeyer.
HRD/DM780 can also send CW using a serial port, but that is a different
port than is used for rig control, and you need something like the 'one
transistor keying interface' to make the RS-232 signal levels into on-off
switching needed to key the rig.

I didn't think that DM-780 would key CW, or at least it did not do this
when I used it. However, it may do so now, but how are you asking DM-780
to key the rig? Have they added a tone generator for CW? If not, then
how is the command to key CW going to the rig?
I'm not sure if the KX3 has a 'KEY CW' command on the serial port, but if
it doesn't have that then it may be that there's no way to send a key
up/down command to the radio...

Subject: [Elecraft] Ham Radio Deluxe and KX3 Radio
I have been configuring HRD with my KX3 and wondering if anyone else has
done so?
I can get HRD to copy and send PSK31 and RTTY with the KX3 in Data A
(rev)
mode. Although I can copy CW, HRD will not key the KX3 for CW
I have tried multiple setting in the KX3 and HRD.
Has anyone been able to get CW to work with HRD?
