This is ridiculous. The keyboard on my laptop is mostly not working. I click somewhere to enter text and the cursor appears where I clicked, but when I type something nothing appears. If I leave it sit, about fifteen minutes later the text slowly starts to appear, one letter at a time. This happens everywhere - in browsers, the command line, e-mail client. (I am typing this on my desktop computer.) If I try to enter text with Onboard I also get nothing.
I found a suggestion to do Ctrl-Alt-F2, or just Alt-F2, but neither has any effect, although when I pressed the keys the cursor shimmered slightly. I'm assuming that if I reboot things will be back to normal, but I'm trying to save the half hour it would take to relaunch all my programs and open all the files to where I was. Rebooting is a PITA. Any suggestions?
