My shift/alt/option key is stuck on / MY KEYBOARD IS STUCK ON ALL CAPS?

Keyman sometimes has a bug that enables sticky keys (Windows)or slow keys (Mac). Sticky/slow keys are an accessibility tool that keeps certain keys active without needing to hold them down to make typing key combinations (like Control + V / Command + V) easier. It is a great tool, but can be frustrating when you don’t want it!

To turn sticky keys off on Windows, tap shift 5 times in a row.
To turn slow keys off on Mac, press Option + Command + 5.

You can disable this feature completely in your Windows/Mac computer settings.

Sometimes Keyman does not automatically appear in your Input Sources and needs to be added manually. In your system settings, scroll to the bottom and click on Keyboard. Under Text Input, click on Edit…. A new window with your Input Sources will open.
