History
The last time when my computer shutdown was a power failure. Now some keys are automatically being pressed when I type something.
The last thing I did to keyboard setting was adding a keyboard layout (on Ubuntu).
What is happening
Whenever I press c, xc
is writeen
s gives me sd
d gives me sd
e gives me we
2 gives me 23
, So when I want @ it gives me @#
3 gives me 23
Pressing CAPS Lock gives me F3 and vice-versa.
All other key are either working fine or I don't use them.
I have two operating system Ubuntu and Windows, I use Windows very less and found this problem on Ubuntu, but as soon as I logged in to Windows (for checking) then I found that Windows has the same problem.
Effects on my life
- This starts form the time of login, even I have problem in typing my password.
- Whenever I try to save any webpage, it is bookmarked automatically.
- Whenever I copy, it is cut automatically.
- I have to spend more than half of time correcting what I have typed.
Note: Typing thisd quwesdtion wasd rweally a big pain to mwe.

It seems like a hardware issue to me. I've had this several times in the past, and just replaced the keyboard. It could just be a piece of debris on one of the tracks. Do you have a spare around to check?
