Key blocking in InDesign

Hello,

I don't really know which topic to post my problem in, but I think I could find help here!

I would like to ask InDesign users what the keyboard shortcut is to lock the keyboard.

I indeed have a recurring problem; when I am on the text tool, I accidentally hit a shortcut without realizing it, and I lock my keyboard keys.
I can no longer type or use my keys for other shortcuts, the keys work on the rest of my computer, this problem only occurs in InDesign.
My page then gets stuck on the black arrow tool, and I have to close it and reopen it for everything to work again. It's really frustrating; I use Adobe InDesign CS4.

I hope someone has faced this problem before and can help me solve it, because I have searched Google and looked through the shortcut tabs in InDesign, but I can't find anything.

Thank you in advance.
Marie

At first glance, it seems to be a problem with certain keyboards.

There is a relationship between certain keys (especially the "clear" key which isn't available on all keyboards)

It's also necessary to disable screen gadgets like "aero" or others.
