Reset keyboard after some program messed it up

I think this is the responsibility of the X Windows or the Desktop, so I'm asking in this subforum.

VMWare just messed up my keyboard, when a VM automatically suspended after the host went into the screen blanker. The key repeat is killed, the right shift doesn't work, the left ctrl doesn't work, the toggles don't work, and who knows what else.

In my previous desktop set-up, I had a command to reload the keyboard settings in a shell script handily sitting in a desktop icon. And I don't remember what that command was, having done it once and saved in a file for future need.

My new distro is openSUSE 13.2 with the default KDE desktop. How do I reset the keyboard back to normal, as a command suitable for a bash file?
