Sorry Steve, you have *completely* lost me there!

1. AFAIK, UKey is something supplied with EW. I have never
heard of it anywhere else.

2. Understanding keyboard input? Unfortunately I have no
idea what you refer to here.

3. How does not loading something supplied as part of EW
cause problems elsewhere?

For me, the problems are if pressing '1' does not produce 1
and pressing 'Enter' does anything other than move to the
next line.
