Keyboard freezing increasingly in El Capitain

I have had to write this in Word, copy and paste the post as the keyboard is freezing every time I try to write the question! It is also freezing in Word more and more often so I have a text edit window open – type in a couple of words there and then sometimes I can continue in Word. This doesn’t work on the web page - that just totally freezes usually until I reboot the computer I read the other posts (which is why I did as instructed and started a new discussion even though it is the same problem as others are having) and have checked my keyboard is UK. It is really getting annoying and slowing my work down. I am using an IMac desktop, have new batteries in my keyboard and would really appreciate any suggestions

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

Additionally download and run Etrecheck. Copy and paste the results into your reply. Etrecheck is an excellent diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here (and recommended by Apple Support personnel) in the ASC to provide a snapshot of the system and help identify the more obvious culprits that can adversely affect a Mac's performance.
