Nope.  This "fix" is not consistent.  Still having keyboard problems.  I'll 
keep trying to find a fix.

I discovered a solution that works in Qemu 3.1, running CentOS 7.7 and 8 
Stream.  If I press SysRq (Alt+PrintScrn) I can reset the keyboard and get back 
control.

Host: Windows 10 (non-admin)

After about 30 minutes I have trouble with the keyboard.  Either the keyboard 
stops responding, or I get characters like ^[a ^[b...  the only way I've found 
to fix it is restart the virtual machine.  The physical keyboard seems to be 
fine.
