Edit1: Just tried a stock 4.12.2 img with no Show loaded. No Keyboard Shortcuts or changes to OS involved.
While in Virtual Console everything typed shows up in the terminal or raspberry login: after closing.
I think this is locking up my keyboards.

Edit 2 SOLVED:
I think I solved the problem adding to /etc/init.d/qlcplus
export QT_QPA_EVDEV_KEYBOARD_PARAMETERS=grab=1
export QT_QPA_EVDEV_MOUSE_PARAMETERS=grab=1
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_NO_LIBINPUT=1

In short: The raspberry login: (prompt) and terminal are recording my Virtual Console keyboard bindings while running Operate mode. I suspect it's causing the keys to stop responding.

I tried to run a show on my pi setup, and about 5 minutes in the keyboard stopped responding.
When I stop the qlcplus app and go to: raspberry login:
All my keyboard combination bindings are typed into the login prompt like so:
raspberry login:qqq[[Cq eqqq`wwasdw``aaa`aaaaaawwwww .
Same thing if I login as pi and start qlc as a service. When stopped, the terminal is is full of shortcuts keys I typed in Virtual Console.

The only thing I can think of that I changed is raspi-config Locales to en_US.UTF-8.
And in keyboard XBLAYOUT=us because I couldn't type a pipe.
