I have noticed (more often lately) that my keyboard will stop working. Well it's not really my keyboard stopping working. Like I can still cmd+tab, but I can't do cmd+L to select the URL in safari. Or I can't close windows, or hide applications without doing cmd+tab and then cmd+h from there. This used to happen in the real rare occasion and I'd just mash the keyboard and it would be working again. Now I don't know what makes it work again, but it's happening pretty often, and it's VERY annoying. Any help would be greatly appreciated. No it's not my num lock (I'm on a PowerBook) and I've reset my PRAM.

Edit: It was a loving mash.

Since this is not in Genius Bar, I'm going to offer this little morsel...

... it couldn't be related to this could it?

Make sure you are not enabling Sticky Keys by accident. I've accidently activated it and run into similar problems.

ahhh... you took a look. My mate showed me a buch of those filthy Dilbert strips and they cracked me up. Mind you, they do get worse! (that keyboard one would be about the cleanest one I could post I reckon)
