I'm using a DECWindows 1.0 on VMS V5.1 and experienced the
following:
I switched from the SYSTEM DEFAULT keyboard to the
AUSTRIAN-GERMAN keyboard, "LK201 NG TW" and APPLYed it.
Everything worked fine.
After I was done, I switched back to the SYSTEM DEFAULT
When I tried to use the arrow keys on my keyboard,
the POINTER moved up, down, right or left depending
on the arrow key being used.
I couldn't use the arrow keys in any other application or
window activated.
Ending the whole session and starting a new one didn't help
either.
Finally, I ended up doing a shutdown and reboot which fixed
it.
Any help or similar experience in regards to that?

If you use
ctrl-F3
that will toggle you from "normal" into the state where the
arrow keys move the pointer. I think it is a little more than
that, for example, hold down the arrow key and eventually
the pointer moves faster. Using the Select key is like
pressing the left button on the mouse, etc. for Prev Screen
and Next Screen and the other mouse buttons. I don't know
about shift-Select. Also, when you are in this state the
"Wait" light on the keyboard is on.
Using ctrl-F3 again will toggle you back to the normal
state.
