Keyboard Shortcuts Stop Working (InDesign 17.4)

Hello,
When I have InDesign open for more than a few hours at a time, some of my keyboard shortcuts stop working. Not all of them, specifically Paste in Place, Option Drag, Shift Drag, and Command Shift Drag. The only fix I have found for the issue is to restart my entire computer (restarting InDesign does not do the trick). I am on macOS Monterey version 12.3.

A reboot makes it sound like something you opened after starting to work in InDesign has hijacked some of the keys.

That said, this kind of thing can perhaps also be due to corrupt prefs or cache, See Reset InDesign Preferences and Other Troubleshooting
