[xmonad] Xmonad shortcuts just stopped working

I turned on my machine today and Xmonad's keyboard shortcuts no longer work.
I haven't changed my config file in a long time, so I don't think that's it.
I can tell that the window manager is responding because focus still follows
my mouse fine.

*I didn't turn on numslock or scroll lock.
*I tried setting numlockMask to 0, didn't help.
*I have modMask set to mod4Mask, and if I run xev and press the Windows key
it says I'm pressing Super_L (which I believe is mod4).
*Adding shift, control, or alt when pressing the Windows key doesn't make
any of the shortcuts work either.
*I rebooted into Windows, and the Windows key works fine there so I know the
key isn't broken.
*If I run metacity instead of xmonad I can Alt+Tab and Press
Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right to switch desktops without a problem.

I'm at a loss for what to try next. Ideas?

My full config file is here:
