Lowercase “u” not typing anywhere in Ubuntu 18.04
This problem happened with me twice on two different Ubuntu environments.
Everything seems to be working fine, until suddenly I cannot type the lowercase letter "u" anymore.
I can type uppercase "U" using Shift+u, and I can run any commands that includes the letter, but I can't type "u" anywhere.
It seems that the keyboard has no problem and the issue is coming from the OS itself.
