This is a crappy bug report, but since it's happened to me twice, I figured I'd report it, and hopefully it would ring some bells. Running Lion, cmd-key-happy is working just fine, but at some point, cmd and option revert to their stock meaning. None of the following fix it:

* launchctl stop/start
* launchctl stop, run in shell
* quit/re-run Terminal
* sleep/wake
* switch to login window and back

I need to do a full shutdown and restart of the machine, then everything is back to normal. I realized I have not tried logging out and back in again. I will do that next time, although this is as destructive to my running session as a restart, so it's not a great answer.

I regularly sleep and resume my laptop, and connect and disconnect an external keyboard and monitor, if any of these could be a problem.

Is there anything I can try?
