This was it.

I had apparently "function locked" the keyboard by accidentally pressing
Fn+Esc.  (Great decision to put that right beside the mute button -
Fn+F1!)

Without any visual indication, and with the Fn+arrow combinations still
working for Home, End, PgUp, PgDown, etc., it's almost impossible to
figure out what's going on.

Thanks!
