Until today morning, my keyboard kept typing gibberish, for no particular reason. However, upon going to Command Prompt and typing the command ipconfig/flushDNS, the problem was mysteriously solved. I don't know how that helped. Anyone who can explain?

Sometimes I have experienced a logically "stuck" control/alt/windows key in my keyboard, despite the physical keys not being stuck. Usually clicking the offending key again will solve the issue. There is a possibility this was fixed by itself because when opening the terminal window, you used some key combination which was comprised of the offending key (e.g. Win+R to open the run console to execute powershell/cmd)

Next time you will know if this is the case if pressing certain keys will result in the "special key" + clickedkey action instead of the standard clickedkey action itself.

There is a more in depth related answer here: Control key acts as if it is stuck periodically
