This one manifests as an inability to type the character ) [close round
bracket]. On my keyboard layout, it is the shifted 0 (zero) character.
[UK layout - though I think that's where it is on lots of others, such
as the default (US) one.] It is not a hardware fault: I can type a zero,
and I can use the shift keys with any other key where doing so produces
a different character (I think that's all keys).

I don't know what (if anything specific) starts it (the fault is always
absent after a reboot); I also don't know what stops it - after a while,
though it _may_ well be something I do rather than just random, I find I
can type ) again. I can paste a ) no problem [my signature contains at
least one, so finding one to copy's no problem), but obviously that's
tedious.

Has anyone else experienced this weird one? (Does anyone know what its
cause is?)

I have a similar problem with
Windows 10.
Every few days on total commander,
I can bring up a right-click context menu, but I can't select anything
with the left click. Outside the context menu, left click works fine.
Restarting total commander fixes it.
I've seen similar problems on other apps, but it's so infrequent that
I can't diagnose it.

I've had a few instances where the keyboard fails to wake from sleep.
My keyboard and mice are all logitech wireless. That may factor in.

Methinks there's something loose in the keyboard/mouse interface that
falls off occasionally.

I tried HxD hex editor and it prints the keycode for keystrokes.
