Somehow, I've lost some keyboard usability:

I can type into a text document, but not change a highlighted file name. I
cannot Apple+backspace to move a file or folder to the Trash. I can
mouse-select one file in a folder, but not shift+mouse-select another file to
select all in between, but I can select one at a time that way (update: now
that's working again). I can't Apple+a to select all files in a folder, but
can in a text document.

This happens with the BT Apple keyboard, and the MacBook keyboard itself. A
restart restored some of that functionality (I could click+click a file name
then type a new one) but it's stopped working again. A similar thing happened
quite a while ago, but that was limited to typing in file names and other
certain browser fields. The culprit there was having another window open
behind the browser. No idea why, and it stopped (not sure if I fixed it or it
just went away). This is really bugging me though...
