Capitalization of letters when 2 keyboard letters are pushed when typing

Hi all,


I have a very annoying thing - then typing I have randomly autocapitalization. Then I discovered thaT it is not random - when typing fast and 2 buttons are pushed in the process the second letter becomes capitalized?


Does anybody know how to fix it? I do not have sticky keys or capitalization, etc on?

Mac mini, macOS 10.13

Hello vebaev,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. If we understand, when rapidly typing, some words have the second letter automatically capitalized. 


That sounds like possibly a keyboard shortcut may the cause. Take a look at Mac keyboard shortcuts


Does this happen no matter what application you are using, or just certain ones? If only certain apps, then you may want to look at keyboard shortcuts set up specifically for the app.


Let us know if we can help further.


Have a great day!

Yes this happens in any app.


To be on THe detail here, this happens every time the buttons of the 2 letters are pressed simultaneously:

-if I press "p" and simultaneously holding "l" press also "p" the result will be "aL", so then typing fast word may appear like "appLe". This may happen in any word any position when letter pressing seems to overlap in time.
