Hey folks, i just recently met an issue with my Macbook Pro.
When i use left Shift to write a capital A, i get Å.

Just for fun, I'll continue pressing some keys in alphabetical order, just to se what will come up:
ŋǙ‰ÏÌÓÛıˆfl˘›Ø∏»¸Í˝Á◊Ù‡ˇŒÆ°
That was the whole alphabet.

Now i did turn on the keyboard visualizer to see what is going on, and i see the following:

So ^ and ´ are ”Active? I have no idea what orange means. So when i press Shift it goes to:

I can clearly see the propper capital letters for a split second when i press shift, before it goes to the gibberish above.

Right shift has had no such issues. Only left Shift.

Any ideas why this is?

PS: It is not the common, speech recognition issue, as i never saw any need for the feature. And thus never used it. And i am the only one who has access to the device.
 
Nvm, it fixed itself.

Perhaps some moisture inside the keyboard caused the keys to malfunction.

Everything back to normal ;O
