I've also twice hit a bizarre input problem where my keyboards are
still recognized (I can bring down the keyboard menu and see them move
as I type), and command keys work, and keys work in apps without input
areas (e.g. LaunchBar). **But I can't type in any input area in any
app, not even iTerm.** I don't know yet if that's a Mac problem, or
due to the plethora of apps I have that intercept the keyboard stream,
but it's _real_ annoying. Reboot is the only solution I've found.
This sounds like the problem where the system believes that a dialog,
such as a password input dialog, is open somewhere, so it disables text
input elsewhere, even in the current application. On my system, the
LastPass plug-in is often the apparent culprit. (I also use Keyboard
Maestro, which alerts me when I press a text expansion shortcut that it
intercepted due to this problem. KM explicitly suggests that I check
LastPass, which has always been the culprit so far.)_______________________________________________
