Re: I held down my shift key, filter keys came on. How do I stop it?



Tapping a shift key 5 times is the default to turn on Sticky keys feature, holding the Shift key for 8 seconds is the default for
FilterKeys.

Disabling both features can be done through the Accessibility options in the Windows control panel.

I was typing a Word document. I lost my train of thought and held down the
Shift key for several seconds. A message box appeared that said something
about "Filter Keys". I didn't know what that meant. Now, in order to type,
I must first hold down my Shift key for 8 seconds or else the curser just
blinks but does not allow me to type. I cannot figure out how to go back to
just being able to type without first holding down the Shift key!>>
