Somehow when I was editing with Emacs this morning, the shift key on my first virtual console became `stuck'. Now, when I try to use shift on that console, the keypress is ignored, and certain other keys are ignored too. For instance, if I change vt to that console, I can't switch away with Alt+Fn.
All the other vts behave normally.
I'm using a mechanical switchbox for keyboard and monitor switching, so I switched to another machine and ssh'd in and ran chvt to switch away. Then I killed the emacs and bash processes running on the rogue vt, dropping back to the login prompt there. But I can't log in since I can't type any shifted characters.
Suggestions? Is this something I did wrong or is it a bug somewhere? I tried loadkeys just in case, but it didn't change the behavior.
Thanks in advance,
Ben.
