Question

I mean, I can no longer type on my laptop keyboard into an Android emulator. Virtual and on-screen keyboards work fine.

I had the same problem after upgrading to Tools 20. I had to edit the AVD to add the parameter as follows:

From Eclipse, go to AVD Mananger.
Select a specific AVD and click Edit.
Go to the "Hardware" section, click "Create."
Choose property name: keyboard support
The default value is no. Just click on the column of values and change it to yes.
Click Edit AVD again.

This will add the hw.keyboard = yes property in the config.ini file for AVD. And he should work well from there.
