I didn't "kill" the input method. I choose "Exit" from its right-click-menu.

I did no such thing.

I don't have any idea what's even going on here still. I've never heard of an 
input method that consumes all keystrokes. I would love to give a specific 
suggestion to fix this, but I don't even know how im-config gets activated.

With all due respect, a user who runs into the same issue isn't going report 
the issue, they're going to consider Debian broken and install Fedora because 
keyboard functionality is so fundamental that should not be broken by merely 
installing a package or "Exit"ing from a feature most English speakers don't 
even use.

Until I reported this bug, I didn't even know ibus and im-config existed.
