Keyboard doesn't always work?

I'm using the Treehouse console and watching the video at the same time, but as I flip back and forth, I sometimes lose the ability to use the keyboard within the console window. I even click on the flashing prompt, and still I can't input anything. Is there a way to regain use of the keyboard without doing a page refresh. Thanks.

Same thing has happened to me, I think. What always works (for me) is to simply maximize the window I'm typing in. That allows me to put the cursor where I need it. Once the cursor's where I want it, I can split my monitor into two windows again.
