I found the solution.


KDE control Center\regional &accessiblity
\accessiblility\keyboard filters\use slow keys
got turned on by my shifted drag somehow!

I turned it off also turned off
KDE control Center\regional &accessiblity
\accessiblility\Activation\gestures\
user gestures of activating sticky keys and slow keys

so it never happens again.


I never knew either of these options existed before!

There should be another "are you sure" dialog!

KDE control Center\regional &accessiblity
\accessiblility\Activation\gestures\
user gestures of activating sticky keys and slow keys

should be off by default!
