Involuntary reboot log 10.11
Again keyboard jammed waking from sleep, and it looks like my on-sleep hook did not run because key repeat was active and I could see that Karabiner-Elements was still running (because on hitting both shift keys, the caps lock light would toggle).
One last step to try before turning off the lockscreen entirely, setting up a Karabiner keybinding to run the kill script from the lockscreen.
