Sticky keys or Filter keys or Somethng????

Hi! I don't recall what it's called, I think it was something like sticky keys or filter keys..........

If you press the right shift key down for 8 seconds it activates something. Every once in a while we accidently activate it, and causes everything to be hightlighted. I can't click on anything without it opening numerous folders.

The last time it happened, I removed the checkmark from (insert whatever it's called here) shortcut being acquainted with the right shift key. But then it activated again.

The only way that I can get it to go back to normal, is to do a system restore. That can be tricky as well, because the mouse doesn't work during that time and I have to use the arrow keys. Once I system restore it back to another time, everythings ok.

Can I deactivate this?

 

HI!
Are you set up like this?



No checkmark in use filter keys.

 

Hi! Thanks for your reply.

Yes, mines set up exactly like your picture.
Thank you so much for the visual example by the way!

 

Can you remember setting up any keyboard shortcuts in any other programs?
Like Office or something?

 

No, I don't remember setting up any other shortcuts. I have WordPerfect Office 2000 that I rarly use and don't know too much about, lol.

I found this setting, if I take the checkmark out from "use shortcut", would that disable it? And maybe move the dot over to "Ignore repeated keystrokes"? Hey, did I just solve my dillema? lol (I didn't know how to get to this stuff without hitting the shift key. Now I know, it's under accessibility.)

 

Glory be! I DO believe it would!

 

Should I try both? Or just the shortcut option?

 

Nah...I have the second one checked. Just change the 'use shortcut' one.

 

Thanks soooooo much!
