It is possible. Take does some weird stuff, dropping you out of the game
and then back in IIRC. This may disable keyboard shortcuts because the
hack used for disabling keyboard shortcuts when the inputline is selected
isn't perfect (is there any hack which is?).

When this happens, try switching focus to the inputline and out until it
works again as a workaround until I can think of some way to kludge the
kludge.
