Did you start Emacs in text mode?  Otherwise, I cannot understand how
could it screw up your keyboard.

Emacs should use ncurses for the text-mode frames, but the default is
to start a GUI frame, where curses is not relevant at all.

So I don't think I understand the nature of your problems.

Thanks.
