Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue: the browserViewFocused flag can get stuck on true after certain interactions with the browser tab or AI chat, and that blocks keyboard shortcut dispatch.
Your case, closing an auto-opened tab without refocusing the editor first, is a new specific trigger. That’s really helpful.
Workaround: when the keyboard stops working, press Escape or Cmd+1. That should bring focus back to the editor. If that doesn’t help: Cmd+Shift+P > Developer: Reload Window.
The team is aware of the issue, and your report with exact repro steps will help with prioritization.

Let me know if the workaround doesn’t help.
