John,
I would say that this is not a vDosPlus issue. Static electricity is the
most common cause of odd keyboard behavior. It can creep into the
motherboard, too. Depending on the system you use, there are several
things you can try, e.g. disconnect the keyboard, power down the
computer, remove the battery from the motherboard (before doing this
think of saving/documenting your BIOS settings). In the case of laptops,
getting all power off can be tricky.
Best regards,

Lately in the course of working in xy3, I've performed unknown editing
keystrokes which suddenly render the keyboard inoperative in both
vdosplus and Windows -- either keystrokes don't work, or they perform
unexpected actions, bringing up Windows dialogues and menus. Ending
vdos in the task manager does not bring the keyboard back. All I can do
is shutdown and restart.
It happens so suddenly I have no idea what I just did. I'm also using a
highly customized keyboard file. Anyone else seen this? Or suggestions
for restoring the keyboard without a shut down?
