Hi,

check wether the problem is related to the shell/terminal or
to keyboard related things:

In a terminal type 

    cat <return>

Then press a couple of CTRL/<something> keys except ^D.

If you can see -- for example -- ^E when pressing CTRL-E,
then the control codes are received by the shell/terminal,
therefore keyboard related things are not to blame.

If so check the shell init files for remapping the keycodes.
Maybe revdep rebuild will show a library, which is used by
the shell was updated but the shell was not rebuild.
Or something like that.

Only a shot in the dark...

Good luck!
Best regards,
mcc
