Q: Keyboard is Flaky after 10.8.2 update

My keyboard has become flaky beginning last week when I upgraded to 10.8.2.  When I'm out on the road, right in the middle of typing a sentence in any program, the letters and numbers just stop responding.  the Function Keys, Return, ESC, and the arrow keys all still work just fine, but the letters and numbers stop.

 

I thought maybe it was a hardware issue until it happened to me at home where I'm using an apple bluetooth external keyboard. the exact same thing just happened.

 

In either case, the only solution I've found so far is to stop everything and reboot.

 

So does anyone have any insight into why the internal keyboard AND the external bluetooth keyboard would stop working?  doesn't sound like a hardware issue to me... but what do I know.

 

I'm on a two year old MacBook Air 11", plugged into a thunderbolt monitor and using the external keyboard right now, but it happens to the internal keyboard too.

MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
